A bit about us:

Founded in the early 2000s by entrepreneurs who wanted to change the game of handbags by finding a way to be both animal-friendly and completely vegan, while still focusing on fashion trends. We take pride in being a brand that is not only environmentally friendly, but also fashion-forward and at a reasonable cost. Our designs are creative and ahead of trend, providing a bag for any and all occasions.

We work hard to create the perfect balance that keeps all of our customers and clients coming back for more. Internally, our culture is important to us. As our business continues to grow, we want to make sure we're bringing in people with a good work ethic, strong values, and consistent drive.

We are looking to bring on another Wholesale Sales Executive who has at least 3 years of sales experience within fashion, merchandising, and apparel. This person would need to be comfortable selling to small retails and boutiques around Los Angeles.

Why join us?

• Competitive compensation package ($50,000 - $80,000 base PLUS commissions, earnings into the six figures)
• Bonus/commission program
• PTO
• Benefits package: medical, dental, vision
• Car allowance
• Cell phone allowance
