Congratulations!

You’ve been selected as an Artisan Partner at Una Bella Vita Boutique, and we are delighted to welcome you into our creative community.

Lovingly curated and owned by Beth Hudson, Una Bella Vita Boutique proudly features high-quality, stylish, and beautifully crafted artisanal goods. Our focus is on supporting Canadian and local artists and makers, offering customers a thoughtfully curated shopping experience that reflects our brand, vision, and aesthetic.

​

ARTISAN PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW

​

Financial Agreement: Rent & Commission

We strive to make our partnerships both accessible and rewarding for our artisans.

​

Rental Space Pricing
Shelf spaces range from $21–$124 per month.
✨ Winter Sale: Enjoy 50% off monthly rent for a limited time!
Our most popular medium-sized shelf is a Medium Shelf on sale for only $59.99.

​

Commission
A low 10% commission is applied to all sales.

​

Current Promotion
Cover your monthly rent at no cost by simply sharing and using your personalized 10% off coupon for the boutique. 25% of each sale in a month is applied as credit toward your next month’s rent.

​

Deposit
A first and last month’s rent deposit is required to reserve your space. If you begin mid-month, the remaining balance of that month is due upfront. The following month will count as your official first month.

​

Payment Methods
Cash, credit card, E-transfer or PayPal (ubvboutique@gmail.com). All payments are final sale.

​

Monthly Payment Cycle​

• Rent is deducted from sales on the 1st of each month

• Vendor payouts are sent via e-transfer by the 10th of the following month

• Any outstanding balance owed to the boutique must be paid by the 5th

 

​

STOCK & INVENTORY

​

• Rent is based on space size, not quantity of items, saying that we tend to be generous with our space

• Vendors are responsible for supplying and replenishing stock, we will merchandise and refill as needed

• We will notify you when a general restocking is needed

• Backup stock may be stored on-site, if space allows

• Sales & Promotions: Boutique-wide promotions up to 10% may be applied without notice

 

The vendor is responsible for supplying their inventory and managing (including shipping costs, if required) the return of any unsold stock.​ We professionally price your products using stickers or hand tags and, when space allows, add a “Made in Canada” sticker.

​​

​

LEASE TERMS

 

Lease Start: When items are received, inventoried, tagged, and displayed

• Minimum Term: 3 months from the 1st official month

• Ongoing: Month-to-month after initial term

• Recommended Commitment: 6–12 months minimum for optimal brand recognition

• Notice to Leave: 60 days

• Refunds: All spaces are final sale; early termination is non-refundable

 

​

OPERATIONS & MERCHANDISING

​

Visual Merchandising
All merchandising is handled by the boutique to maintain a cohesive brand look. Products may be displayed throughout the store rather than on one designated shelf to maximize visibility and sales.​ While preferences are always considered, final decisions regarding placement, signage, tags, displays, and marketing materials remain with the boutique.​ Any shipping costs to supply or retrieve inventory are the responsibility of the Artisan Partner.

​

Vendor Conduct​

We uphold a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, harassment, or abusive behaviour. Any violation will result in immediate termination of the partnership without refund. Vendors will be responsible for retrieving their inventory at their own expense.

​

We reserve the right to rotate vendors based on seasonality, brand alignment, or boutique goals.

​

Business Cards & Marketing Materials

• Business cards or small marketing materials may be kept behind the counter

• No individual vendor signage is displayed on the showroom floor

• Props or stands may be submitted for consideration but are not guaranteed to be used

 

Inventory & Tagging​

We manage all inventory tagging for consistency. Our tags include:

• Item name & description

• Retail price

• SKU & Vendor ID

• Barcode

• “Made in Canada” sticker (when applicable)

 

Before Drop-Off, Please Provide:

• Inventory list

• Item names (photos encouraged if items aren't obvious)

• Descriptions & retail prices

• Quantities

 

​

HOURS OF OPERATION

Hours may vary seasonally. For closures longer than three consecutive open days, rent will not be charged for that period.

 

Holidays & Closures​

To support balance—one of our core values—we may close anywhere from 1–4 weeks annually. Rent will not be charged during these times, and advance notice will be provided.

​​

​

COMMUNICATION

​

All communication must be directed to: ubvboutique@gmail.com​. Please do not use social media or text messaging for inquiries, as this helps us stay organized and maintain work-life balance.
