LBA is a New York based, and regionally active, innovative buying support service, offering fashion direction with Incentive Pricing, Private Label, Off-Price, and Opportunistic Buys for women's apparel retailers. The LBA program is specifically designed to increase sales and profitability for independently owned specialty stores serving their local communities, and regions. The LBA office is active throughout the year, researching the market and conducting seasonal Fashion Presentations, and member store networking, in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and Las Vegas during each Region's Market - - March, May, August, November, and January. Purposely planned, these New York Market periods coincide with the exhibits of Moda Manhattan, ATS, Coterie, Intermezzo, Accessory Circuit, and Nouveau Collective. The LBA Fashion Presentations begin with a trend report, pertinent, detailed, vendor information, accompanied with illustrated color booklets.  Each manufacturer is discussed, while key samples, indicative of their profile, are shown, giving a Store a complete Market overview, and the ability to save valuable time, by going directly to vendors of their choice, fitting their specific profile - - all of whom are available through LBA, at preferred account terms of 10% - 20% off line prices.  In addition, we also inform our Stores of selective, immediate,  deep off-price opportunities, specifically negotiated for our member stores, at 30% - 50% off line prices.  Also, LBA offers special, and exclusive, private label programs  for extra mark-up under the label LBA STUDIO.

Our buyers are always available for in-depth, individual, consultations with Stores to discuss their specific needs during and in-between Market trips. The lines of communication are constantly open!
