New global platform for independent brands and buyers Retaissance has launched. Covering all product categories the platform will act as space for brands and buyers to meet. Independent brands can use Retaissance to build a comprehensive online profile for potential wholesale partners to view. Retaissance allows buyers to browse the site and build a portfolio of products that match their exact preferences across a number of categories. They can also use the site to track brands as markets develop and extend their lines with fresh products from independents.

The full site will launch at the beginning of August.
