Every DTC fashion site prints one number — what a shopper pays. That's correct for a shopper, but it isn't the document a boutique buyer needs to do their job: a line sheet, with a wholesale price and a suggested retail price stated side by side, from the same garment. This page is that line sheet, not a lookbook with a wholesale inquiry buried in the footer.
“A wholesale price isn’t a discount off the real price. It’s the number a store needs to survive being a store — rent, staff, markdowns. Printing both numbers on the same page is just telling the truth about what a boutique actually pays for.” — Amara Adeyemi
First time buying wholesale?
Six terms, defined once, used consistently in every table below.
The spine of this page
Eight styles, grouped by delivery window. Every style is a pre-book against production — see pre-book vs. at-once above.
SRP below is wholesale × 2.1, rounded to the nearest $5 — Adeyemi Studio's own stated keystone ratio, inside the 2.0–2.2× industry band (RepSpark, AIMS360, Wearview). Change the wholesale price and the SRP moves with it: both numbers are computed from one figure, never typed twice.

“Most line sheets I get are a PDF that goes stale between market week and the actual PO. Amara’s is the same page I can pull up the morning I’m writing the order — same numbers, no surprise when the invoice lands.” — Dara Whitfield, buyer, Bellwether & Rye
The line as it's actually carried today — not a projection.
The document itself
A buyer at market week doesn't take a screenshot of a webpage — they leave with a document. This is that document, previewed below and available to download or print directly.
Every style, one size run
Every style on this line sheet ships in the same ten-size run, 00 through 16.
Adeyemi Studio grades on a straight 1-inch increment per size step across bust, waist and hip — this studio's own stated rule, not a universal industry constant; grading rules vary house to house.
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | 32″ | 24″ | 34″ |
| 0 | 33″ | 25″ | 35″ |
| 2 | 34″ | 26″ | 36″ |
| 4 | 35″ | 27″ | 37″ |
| 6 | 36″ | 28″ | 38″ |
| 8 | 37″ | 29″ | 39″ |
| 10 | 38″ | 30″ | 40″ |
| 12 | 39″ | 31″ | 41″ |
| 14 | 40″ | 32″ | 42″ |
| 16 | 41″ | 33″ | 43″ |
Why deadstock, specifically
Deadstock is mill overstock — fabric a larger house ordered and didn't use, or a run that came in short of a minimum somewhere else. Every yard on this line sheet is deadstock on purpose: it doesn't require a custom minimum yardage, which is exactly the constraint a small label kept small by choice runs into everywhere else. It isn't a sustainability badge stapled onto the copy — it's the reason a label this size can run eight styles a season instead of two.
Garment District, on purpose
Amara Adeyemi designs, drapes and grades every pattern from a fourth-floor studio at 250 W 39th St, Suite 4B, New York — the Garment District, a short walk from most of the contractors and jobbers this line depends on.
Cutting, making and trimming is done by a five-person CMT shop two blocks north — not offshore, and not because offshore is wrong, but because a label this size can't yet meet most offshore factories' minimums without buying more fabric than a deadstock supply chain can promise twice.
Amara cuts and fits the first sample of every style herself, in-house. Grading across the full 00–16 run, cutting production yardage, and construction all happen at the CMT shop, from the same pattern.

FAQ
Twice a year, timed to when each season’s samples come back from market appointments — announced by email to the wholesale list and on Amara’s LinkedIn, not a standing public sale.
Before the delivery window’s order-cutoff date, yes — email or LinkedIn message Amara directly. After cutoff, goods are already cut against your quantities, so changes are limited to swapping colourways within the same style if fabric allows.
$350 wholesale, same as any reorder — see Wholesale terms above. Reorders on the two carryover styles ship at-once; everything else is next season’s pre-book.
