Into the world of members-only online sample sales comes a fresh idea from Bay Area-based company Moxsie, an online retailer that sells independent apparel and accessories brands for men and women. Instead of offering past season merchandise at a discount, the Moxsie First shopping site launched earlier this week allows indie fashion fans to pre-order collections from independent labels.
Sure, you’re not going to find super cheap bargains on merchandise, as the apparel and accessories sold through Moxsie First haven’t even arrived in stores yet, but the new feature means diehard independent fashion fans can scoop up items such as the polka dot romper by New York-based Dolce Vita shown above before anyone else has a chance to purchase it. Judging by items featured during the debut week of the site, you’ll typically have to wait four or five weeks from the time of purchase before you’ll receive merch.
