We are a womens boutique in Colorado Springs. When I became the new owner I found myself with a big learning curve requiring support. On my first trip to LA, Lizz and Amy introduced me to vendors and helped me navigate my the mart. Between visits, FSLA provided me with weekly catalogs, which allows me to order the perfect merchandise without leaving the shop. I appreciate the passion and dedication they have and look forward to a continued partnership.

As a buyer and store owner for over 25 years, I sought out Lizz & Amy for help. In being a client of Fashion Scouts, we have grown a very profitable women's business. FSLA always helps us incorporate new buying & retailing techniques, gives us ideas on merchandising and trends, and helps us develop selling strategies that have enabled us to continue to grow and evolve.

I'm the owner of a boutique and in 25 years, I've never had a better experience with any company in the fashion industry. Amy and Lizz are professional, honest and unfailingly straightforward- plus enjoyable to work with. Fashion Scouts LA has been a "game changer" for me. I often found myself between trips with stale or low merchandise. FSLA solved that dilemma. Our turnaround is faster, we always have something new, and I don't have to go to market as often. They know what I'm looking for and they find it the same week. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Hello! I flew from NY to LA to meet with Fashion Scouts LA for their intro to the mart and it was the best thing I ever did for my online boutique business!!! They did an amazing job showing me around the SP Marts. I am grateful to FSLA. They were patient, had a wealth of information & grasped my style very well. I will definitely be using FSLA services again! They have outstanding professionalism & knowledge of the fashion industry. Don’t take my testimonial for granted. Your fashion business will regret it!

I've had the pleasure of working with the wonderful team at FSLA for many years, selling them my excess men's inventory. From day one, they’ve been a joy to work with. They have an incredible eye for selecting the best styles, and their professionalism is refreshing. I truly appreciate their clear and consistent communication, especially their tone and delivery in emails. It’s always a pleasure to receive their prompt turnaround on orders, which makes the entire process smooth and efficient.

“The Fashion Scouts LA team has been a great partner for all of my brands for well over 10 years now. Their relationships with buyers has been instrumental in not only the growth of my brands but also helped me build relationships I wouldn't have had without them. Such a great team in terms of communication and planning of meetings. A very professional group. I look forward to continued business with FSLA for the upcoming seasons.”
