Gift & Thrift
A Guide for Prospective Vendors
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about White Clover.
01
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've built something you're proud of. Whether you've been in business for years or are just getting started, we appreciate you considering White Clover as a place to share your work.
This guide is meant to introduce you to who we are, what we value, and what you can expect if you become part of our marketplace.
Before we talk about vendor spaces or applications, we'd like to tell you a little about why White Clover exists.
02
Shopping is about much more than buying something.
White Clover began with some of my favorite memories.
I love going to markets with my family, we walk from booth to booth, spending quality time together excited to see what were going to find that day excited that there is something for everyone. Those trips taught me that shopping is about much more than buying something. It can be about spending time with the people you love, discovering something unexpected, and supporting someone who cared enough to create something special.
The name White Clover comes from my family. My grandmother, Honey, my mom, and I have always found four-leaf clovers together. Its something special we share between us. When I learned that four-leaf clovers grow in white clover fields, the name felt like it was meant to be.
For me, White Clover is a reminder that some of life's best moments are found when we slow down long enough to appreciate them.
04
Flowers have always been part of my story too.
When I was growing up, my dad would stop on the side of the road to pick wildflowers for my mom and me. They weren't expensive bouquets, but they made us feel special because he took the time to make us feel special. Those moments shaped me.
Today, through Flower Girl Studio, I have the opportunity to help other people create those same feelings for the people they care about. Bringing Flower Girl Studio and White Clover together felt natural because they share the same purpose: helping people celebrate one another through thoughtful gifts and meaningful moments.
05
Thoughtfulness creates the moments we remember most.
White Clover exists to help people celebrate one another through thoughtfully curated products, meaningful experiences, and the creativity of local makers.
We're creating more than a place to shop.
We're creating a place where people enjoy discovering something new, supporting small businesses, and finding meaningful gifts for the people they love.
06
White Clover is a curated marketplace. That means we don't simply fill available space. Every business is chosen because we believe it contributes to the overall experience we're creating.
We want customers to discover a variety of products, styles, and businesses while still feeling like everything belongs together. That balance is what makes a curated marketplace different from a traditional vendor mall.
07
We're looking for businesses that care about their work, communicate well, take pride in their displays, and want to continue growing and improving.
You don't have to be the biggest business. You don't have to have years of experience. You simply need to care about what you do and be excited about being part of a thoughtfully curated marketplace.
08
Every application is reviewed individually. When we review a business, we ask ourselves five questions.
If the answer is yes, there's a good chance we'll be excited to continue the conversation.
09
If you become a White Clover vendor, you can expect:
We believe the best vendor relationships are built on trust, communication, and consistency.
10
Every business is different, and every display should support the products being offered.
White Clover offers a variety of display options, including shelf displays, jewelry displays, clothing racks, wall displays, and other specialty spaces.
Rather than assigning spaces on a first-come, first-served basis, we match each business with the display that best supports both their products and the overall marketplace.
11
?Can I continue selling online?
Absolutely. White Clover is meant to complement your business, not replace it.
?Can I continue participating in markets?
Yes. Many of our vendors continue selling at markets, festivals, and pop-up events.
?Can I rotate products?
Yes. We encourage vendors to keep their displays fresh throughout the year.
?Can I restock whenever I want?
Routine restocking takes place before opening or after closing on weekdays. Just let us know in advance so we can arrange access.
?Can I decorate my display?
Yes, as long as it remains clean, professional, and fits the overall look and feel of White Clover.
?Can I run sales?
Yes. We simply ask that you let us know beforehand so we can update pricing and help promote your sale when possible.
?Who handles customer purchases?
Every purchase is processed through White Clover's checkout to provide customers with one simple, consistent shopping experience.
?What is your return policy?
To support our independent makers and small businesses, all sales are final.

A Letter from Ria
Thank you for taking the time to read through this guide.
Starting White Clover has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I'm incredibly excited to finally bring it to life. My hope is that White Clover becomes a place where people enjoy slowing down, discovering something they didn't expect, and supporting talented small businesses. I also hope it is a place where vendors feel genuinely valued. I know how much work goes into building a small business because I've experienced it myself. I know the long days, the markets, the late nights, and the excitement that comes with seeing someone appreciate something you've created. That's why I want White Clover to be more than just another place to sell products. I want it to be a place where businesses grow, relationships are built, and customers return because they love the experience as much as the products.
Whether White Clover becomes part of your journey or not, thank you for considering us. I truly appreciate the time you've taken to learn about what we're building. Thank You for considering White Clover. We look forward to learning more about you and your business.
With love and gratitude,
Ria
Founder, White Clover
