   Trunkt Show @ Gilt Groupe

   

   Trunkt Shows are exclusive opportunities for our members to pitch their wholesale products to prominent retailers in New York City.  Retailers include e-tailers, boutiques, department stores, galleries and major museum gift shops.

   

   Our first Trunkt Show will focus on jewelry and be hosted by Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, the Founder and Chief Merchandising Officer of Gilt Groupe.

   At Gilt Groupe, Alexandra is on the forefront of revolutionizing and innovating the landscape of luxury e-commerce. Prior to co-founding Gilt Groupe, Alexandra was a senior executive at Bulgari and Louis Vuitton. She is involved in a number of non-profits including: Dress for Success, Endeavor Global, Robin Hood Foundation, the New York Junior League and El Museo del Barrio. Alexandra is also an official mentor for Tech Stars and an unofficial mentor for many budding entrepreneurs.

   Pitch your jewelry to Gilt Groupe.

   Alexandra will meet with you at the Gilt Groupe offices to hear your pitch, to offer you feedback and to arrange a meeting with a buyer.

   This is a rare opportunity to get exposure to a top retail executive and to pitch your jewelry to one of the hottest e-commerce sites around where millions of customers will be able to buy your work.

   Gilt sells a variety of products for women, men, kids and the home. Future Trunkt Shows in this series will focus on all of these categories.
