Selling Women's Clothing by Appointment

Etcetera removes the store from women's fashion retail entirely. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in New York City, the company sells contemporary everyday wear by appointment only, through private trunk shows: a wardrobe representative brings a season's collection to a private setting for a few days, clients view and order from the samples, and the garments are then made and delivered. With four collections a year shown in over 660 cities and upscale suburbs, the network replaces rent, shop staff and standing inventory with relationships — the consultant knows each client's wardrobe, sizes and preferences, and advises on how new pieces combine with what she already owns.

That model only works if the clothing rewards the appointment. Etcetera's collections are positioned on luxurious styling and meticulous attention to detail, in designs presented as singular rather than mass-distributed, so a client is unlikely to meet the same outfit on another guest — exclusivity created by the selling method itself, since trunk show distribution in any one town is deliberately limited. Founder William Rondina built the company inside The Connaught Group, Ltd, the same group behind the Carlisle Collection, applying the same peer-to-peer, consultant-led approach to a more contemporary line: two labels, one selling system, each aimed at a different wardrobe. The definition of Etcetera is therefore as much about distribution as design — a national clothing business with no shops to visit.
