The Buy Side is your buyer on the inside: a personal shopping and sourcing service for the pieces you want — the sold-out, the archival, the impossible, or simply the everyday piece you don't have time to chase. We read the market, vet every option, and secure the right piece on your behalf, at the right price.
Working with The Buy Side feels less like shopping and more like having someone on the inside. Here's how a request moves across the desk.
Tell us the piece — exact, or a lane you're open within. A small retainer opens the search and puts us to work. You're never obligated to buy.
We work our network — boutiques, consignment, private sellers, the archives, and in-market on our sourcing trips abroad. Quietly, and on your behalf.
We send back a short, curated set — authenticated, with our honest pick and one clear all-in price. No overwhelm, no browsing. The edit is the service.
You approve, payment settles, and we secure it — then it's authenticated once more and delivered to your door, beautifully. Consider it handled.
The waitlisted, the discontinued, the archival grails — and the everyday classics, sourced with an eye on condition, market value and price.
Runway exits, sold-out sizes, special pieces, and the exact thing you can't seem to find in stock.
Fine, fashion, vintage and giftable pieces - vetted with the same discipline before we make a move.
For the finishing piece that brings the whole look together — sourced with the same eye for taste, condition, and value as the main acquisition.
For the "find me a good one" request — when you know the need, but not the exact piece. We translate the brief, read the market, and return a focused edit worth considering.
We read the market, compare condition and pricing, and help secure the strongest option at the right price.
A monthly note from the desk on what to acquire, what's quietly appreciating, and the one piece worth a position now. What's in demand, what's blue chip, and what to skip. Free to join.
A focused search for one piece, category, or brief. A sourcing fee opens the position and is credited toward your final invoice when the piece is secured at close.
Priority sourcing, standing positions, and first look at select finds from The Roadshow — for clients who want ongoing coverage from the desk.
The highest-touch desk relationship: priority positions, dedicated sourcing trips, first look at Blue Chip finds, and acquisition support across markets.

The Buy Side was built for people who know exactly what they want — and for people who know they want the right thing, but don't have the time, access or patience to chase it.
I bring a strategist's discipline to the search: market research, seller vetting, price comparison, condition review, and a clear point of view on whether a piece is worth acquiring. I treat fashion the way the best investors treat any asset and with the same rigor as any considered acquisition— I know what's rare, what's in demand, what's appreciating, what should cost what and how to get it for the right price. You get a buyer on the inside: someone reading the market, narrowing the options, and helping you secure the right piece with confidence.
