Trunkt

I am getting ready to show at my first New York International Gift Fair. The wholesale show starts Saturday August 16th and I have been wait listed for three years for the handmade section. My booth may be in the Hudson River, but I finally got my foot in.


Along my journey in the retail/wholesale jewelry business I tried many different ways to promote myself. As I have been prepping for the show this morning I started thinking about how I got here and who helped me along the way. One company that has been with me almost since the start of things is called Trunkt.


Trunkt, founded by Ayesha Ahmad and Dev Tandon, started out by holding retail shows in the New York area. They then moved onto online sales and eventually even a temporary store in Tribeca, NY. Their sole purpose is to promote indie designers and artists. They handpick their members so you can find something you like on each page of their site - http://www.trunkt.org. Each artist is asked to create a profile and enter product and information about the product, you can view my portfolio at:



Great people, Great Company.
