Find independent shops that want to stock your brand.
Open Shelf is a free directory of independent boutiques, gift shops, bookstores and museum stores across the US that publicly invite new brands, makers and designers, with exactly how each one wants to be pitched. Run by a shop owner who reads these pitches too.
Every listing was checked against the shop's own website on 2026-10-17. 48 take pitches by email, 35 by online form.

Three steps from "who would stock this?" to a real pitch
- 1
Find shops that fit
Filter by city, neighborhood, category and terms (wholesale or consignment). Every shop here has said publicly that it takes submissions.
- 2
Pitch the way they ask
Each listing summarizes the shop's own instructions, from the subject line it wants to whether it takes samples, and links straight to its submission page.
- 3
Hear when doors open
Now Buying is our newsletter for new listings and calls that just opened or closed, so you can pitch while a buyer is looking.
