Sold only once, but in some cases we repeat items and they come back at a later time.
Real favourites or HV design items (which really belong to Housevitamin) such as: the Gun lamp, Octopus en the Strike a Pose Lamp, will always remain in our collection!
We do not work with annual collection, but every month we have new items. So it is always a party! Our turnover rate is high, so be quick if you really want items.
We also say "We don't do collections, we do bestsellers", so it remains surprising and new. For you as our customer, but of course also for the people who come to shop at your store. And that is great!

WHY DOES HOUSEVITAMIN WORK WITH QUANTITIES PER PRODUCT?
Very good question! In our warehouse we have more than 500 products. These products are packed per box. Some products are packed per 1 piece, others per 2, 6, 12 or even 24 pieces..
We are not equipped to deliver all orders in time if boxes have to be opened and items counted. This is the main reason why we only sell per box.
With this way of working, we can keep our prices low and our speed high!
For retailers who want to buy in smaller quantities, we have a Cash & Carry location in Tica Aalsmeer and Trends & Trade Venlo.
WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR CONSUMER PRICES?
We always recommend a retail price with a margin of x2.3. However, this is an advice and our customers are free to deviate from this.
DOES HOUSEVITAMIN WORK WITH EXCLUSIVITY?
No, we do not work with exclusivity. Our mission is: "To make hip living affordable and accessible to as many people as possible". Therefore we have chosen to make our products as accessible as possible.n.

Of course, we do keep in touch with our direct customers when the same items appear in the same shopping street or nearby in order to maintain a varied range.
WE DELIVER CHRISTMAS GIFTS, CAN WE ALSO BUY FROM YOU?
Yes, you can always purchase items from Housevitamin. However, our items have a high turnover rate. Items remain in stock for an average of +/- 3 months. If you want to be sure that the items are still in stock in November,
we advise you to contact us around August. Unfortunately, we can never guarantee stock availability.

WHY BUY DIRECTLY FROM CASH & CARRY?

WHO CREATE AND DESIGNS THE PRODUCTS?
The collection was born out of Thomas and Mischa's passion to make hip home deco affordable and attainable for as many people as possible. They believed that home deco could be much more fun and wanted to give it some spice.
"We like to be provocative and we like to show that in our collection. With our collection, we want to show interior lovers that it is possible to create a hip and sparkling interior: mixing and matching are key words."
Mischa is always full of ideas. Every day new things emerge from her creative brain. Her ideas come from all sorts of sources, such as art, things she misses in her daily life and from family and friends.
The whole team is busy thinking up fun items, which Jessie (our product designer) then works out. Based on this principle, we work hard to create and design new products in cooperation with our suppliers.
After our ideas have come to life, our suppliers make and produce them into real articles and decorations.
WHAT IS A HOUSEVITAMIN BRANDSHOP?
Do you believe in our brand, is it selling well and do you have space in your shop? Then creating a brand store might be a good concept!
A Housevitamin Brandshop is a 'wooden house' or specific corner in a shop filled exclusively with Housevitamin items. It is a collaboration with our retail customers.
We build the house or supply presentation material and initially help with the styling. After construction and decoration, the retail customer manages the brandshop and orders new items when necessary.
In a brandshop, our articles are easier to mix and match, which often boosts sales.
