In a sea of online clutter, Taigan is a curated marketplace of shops, designers and items that, our shoppers agree, are among the best in the world. As a result, our selection process is exactly that: selective. Based on our shop criteria, Taigan historically has approved just over 3% of all inquiries to join the site.

Taigan identifies prospective new shops and designers via online inquiries from interested boutiques and designers, from shopper suggestions and leads from our team members, and from vendor referrals. Every opportunity is vetted, regardless of its source.

New shops and designers are hand-selected with a focus on:

1. Inquiry/ scouting report/ referral received
2. Taigan submits request for samples* & additional information
3. Vetting & samples review
4. Invitation to present on Taigan (if approved)
*Samples are promptly returned once the vetting process is complete

Completion of our vetting process typically takes 7 days from receipt of samples and any additional requested information.
