From one of the earliest brands on Orderchamp to a fast-growing international wholesale business, LOT83 uses the Orderchamp B2B Portal to streamline retailer ordering, manage growth, and scale its colorful collections across Europe.
As part of our Live interviews at B2B Next, our exclusive gathering of brands, wholesalers, and partners to discuss the future of wholesale, we spoke with Ilse, founder of LOT83, about growing alongside Orderchamp from the early days, expanding internationally, and combining marketplace visibility with a scalable B2B ordering experience.
Introduction: growing alongside Orderchamp from the very beginning
LOT83 has been part of the Orderchamp journey from the early days. What started as a colorful fashion accessories brand focused primarily on wholesale has grown into an internationally recognized business with retailers across Europe and beyond.
From the beginning, LOT83 focused heavily on wholesale rather than direct-to-consumer sales. As the business expanded, inventory management, operational efficiency, and scalable ordering processes became increasingly important.
Orderchamp became an important growth partner throughout that journey — first by helping LOT83 increase visibility among retailers, and later through the B2B Portal, which created a smoother and more professional ordering experience for existing customers.
About LOT83
LOT83 is a Dutch fashion accessories and lifestyle brand known for colorful bags, scarves, and trend-driven collections.
Founder Ilse launched the business six years ago with a strong focus on wholesale.
The brand has built a recognizable identity around colorful products and fast-changing collections that appeal to independent retailers looking for trend-driven accessories.
“We sell trendy bags, scarves, and especially very colorful.”
Over the years, LOT83 expanded internationally and now works with retailers across multiple countries.
In fact, the company has grown especially strongly outside the Netherlands.
“We are international, I think we are bigger abroad than in the Netherlands.”
That international expansion also brought new operational challenges behind the scenes.
The challenge: Managing rapid growth while scaling operations
As LOT83 continued growing internationally, operational complexity increased significantly.
As order volumes increased and collections changed rapidly throughout the year, Ilse explained that one of the biggest challenges was managing growth while keeping stock levels healthy and retailers well supported.
At the same time, retailer expectations evolved quickly as wholesale buying behavior became more digital.
Retailers increasingly expect:
Faster deliveries
Faster-changing collections
Easier ordering experiences
Better stock visibility
Ilse explains:
“Fast changing collections, faster deliveries… They are all closer to it.”
For a fast-moving accessories brand like LOT83, managing those expectations manually becomes increasingly difficult as the business scales.
The solution: Combining visibility with a scalable B2B ordering experience
LOT83 has been working with Orderchamp for years and was one of the early brands to embrace digital wholesale as part of its growth strategy.
Through the Orderchamp Marketplace, the brand increased its visibility among retailers across Europe and built strong international momentum early on. As the business continued growing, operational scalability became increasingly important as well.
That’s where the Orderchamp B2B Portal became a natural next step.
The Portal gave LOT83 a centralized and professional ordering environment where retailers can easily browse collections, reorder products, and access the latest assortment at any time.
For a fast-moving accessories brand with constantly evolving collections, simplifying the ordering flow became essential.
Ilse explained that automation is one of the biggest priorities for modern wholesalers.
By reducing manual work and improving stock visibility, the B2B Portal helps LOT83 manage growing order volumes more efficiently while creating a smoother experience for retailers.
At the same time, the Portal allows the brand to maintain its own identity and branded wholesale experience while continuing to scale internationally.
Why the partnership worked
One of the reasons the partnership between LOT83 and Orderchamp worked so well is that both companies grew alongside each other.
LOT83 embraced digital wholesale early, at a time when many wholesale businesses still relied heavily on manual ordering and traditional sales channels.
By combining marketplace visibility with the B2B Portal, the brand was able to both acquire new retailers and support existing customers with a professional and scalable ordering experience.
The company also strongly believes in combining physical wholesale relationships with digital convenience. According to Ilse, both trade shows and digital platforms continue to play an important role today.
That balance reflects the modern wholesale landscape perfectly. Trade shows still matter for relationship building and discovery, while digital ordering platforms and portals are increasingly essential for day-to-day wholesale operations.
Trust also remains one of the most important qualities in retail partnerships according to Ilse.
Real impact: Supporting long-term wholesale growth
Over the past six years, LOT83 has grown into an internationally recognized wholesale brand with retailers across multiple countries. As the business scaled, Orderchamp helped support that growth in two ways: by increasing the brand’s visibility through the Marketplace and by creating a more streamlined ordering experience through the B2B Portal.
For LOT83, the Marketplace became more than an ordering channel. It helped introduce the brand to new retailers across Europe and strengthened its position in a competitive, trend-driven category.
At the same time, the B2B Portal gave existing customers a more professional and efficient way to browse collections, reorder products, and access the latest assortment. This helped LOT83 reduce operational complexity behind the scenes while continuing to offer the speed and flexibility retailers expect.
That combination of visibility, retailer relationships, and scalable ordering infrastructure continues to support LOT83’s international growth ambitions.
What’s next: continuing international growth with scalable wholesale infrastructure
Looking ahead, LOT83 remains focused on continued international growth, operational efficiency, and staying top-of-mind for retailers looking for colorful fashion accessories and lifestyle products.
As wholesale continues shifting toward more digital and automated processes, scalable B2B infrastructure will only become more important for growing brands. The Orderchamp B2B Portal helps LOT83 support that next phase by creating a smoother ordering experience while reducing manual work behind the scenes.
At Orderchamp, we’re proud to have supported LOT83 from the early stages of their journey and to continue helping the brand scale internationally through both the Marketplace and the B2B Portal.
