BECOME A TNR VIRTUE DESIGNER

At TNR VIRTUE, we are zealous about our business and our artistic group of Designers and we are always famished to hear from fresh and developing designers who wish to be part of the TNR VIRTUE family. We would love to meet you in person but before we can do this we need to first learn more about you.

  2. Any new Interior Deco, ladies, men or kids clothing Designer wishing to join TNR VIRTUE would initially be allocated space within the CARING VIRTUE of our stores.
  3. Read over the general questions (plus the handy tips), which we may ask you, should you be granted an interview.
  4. The Designer would not be charged a monthly display fee for their space (our fully established Independent Designers are charged a display fee) but would be charged a monthly commission percentage of their sales (including vat).
  5. The number of units of merchandise that a Rising Talent Designer would need to display in their space would be ±90 units depending on the product mix you supply to TNR VIRTUE.
  6. The Designer would not be required to provide signage for their space, as all Caring VIRTUE signage would be provided by TNR VIRTUE.
  7. Should a Designer perform well over a period of time, TNR VIRTUE would advance the Designer onto standard full rails within the TNR VIRTUE stores. Full rails house ±180 units (depending on the product mix) and a display fee and commission % will be charged.
