I was contacted today by a boutique in my home city that was interested in stocking my shirts. I just wanted to ask people who know better as to what my wholesale pricing should be.

It's a small boutique so I doubt they would make a huge order. They sell 'kawaii' japanese things along with various brands of clothing. Here are the other brands they told me they stock: Toki Doki, Ames Brothers, Gama-go, Fifth Sun, Threadless, David & Goliath, Mighty Fine, Loyal Army, Kindred.

Right now, my shirts are all on sale for $15 as part of our grand opening, but once they are priced normally, they will probably be around $18. I print all of the shirts myself, so the total cost per shirt is $3-4.

What wholesale price makes sense and would make a decent enough profit without driving them away?

Usually a wholesale price is usually where the retailer can double what they pay and still be able to sell them. So say if you sold them to them for $10, then they would expect to be able to sell it for $20. Its usually pretty close to half of what they want to sell them for.

Ok, this is what I was thinking. I was thinking I would charge between $9-$11, but just wanted to make sure.

Should work, if they think they can move them at $18-25. Physical stores can generally get higher prices than online.
