On-line Jewelry Sample Fact Sheet Form

Luxury Brand Holdings has implemented an on-line sample fact sheet form to be used for the submission of jewelry samples to be considered for sale in our catalog, web and retail channels. Beginning immediately, only samples submitted with this form will be accepted for review by our buyers.

The on-line jewelry form is located on the Luxury Brand Holdings Vendor Extranet. If you already have an account on the Luxury Brand Holdings Vendor Extranet for access to our purchase orders, you now automatically have access to the new on-line jewelry fact sheet form and screens. A new main menu screen (see below) has been added after login that now allows you to navigate to the existing purchase order section, or to navigate to the new on-line fact sheet section.

**NOTE**– If you are a new vendor and do not have an active account on our Vendor Extranet, you should request through your buyer contact at Luxury Brand Holdings that your company be activated so that you may use the on-line form to submit samples. On an interim basis, and until you are activated on our Vendor Extranet, your merchant contact at Luxury Brand Holdings may authorize you to submit samples using the excel fact sheet form located at the end of this document. This is the only authorized instance where the on-line fact sheet form may not be used for sample submission.

Sample Submission Process Flow Overview

The overall process flow for sample submission to Luxury Brand Holdings remains the same, with the only exception that now you will be entering the fact sheet information into our on-line form instead of into an excel document:

CREATE the Fact Sheet. Use the Create New link (located at the top and bottom of the Fact Sheet Main screen) to begin entering information for a sample into the on-line fact sheet form. You can enter and modify information in the fact sheet, and save it for completion later, as many times as you wish PRIOR TO SUBMITTING/LOCKING THE FACT SHEET.
Fields with red asterisks are required fields. Uploading an image of the product is now also required. In addition, certain other fields are required only when certain classes of product are entered (for example, necklaces require a length but not earrings).
SUBMIT the Fact Sheet. When you are ready to send the sample to Luxury Brand Holdings and are sure that all of the information in the form is accurate and complete, click on the SUBMIT/LOCK button.
The system will check that all required fields are filled out
If all of the required fields are complete and accurate, you will be notified that the fact sheet has been submitted. Successfully submitting the fact sheet locks the information and creates a permanent record that cannot be changed by you or by Luxury Brand Holdings.
If any of the required fields are not filled out, they will be shaded in red and you will be notified that the fact sheet has not been submitted. Complete the required information and click the submit button. A permanent record of your fact sheet is not created until you successfully SUBMIT/LOCK it.
Print the Fact Sheet. Use the Print button at the bottom of the fact sheet form to print a copy of the information you have entered to be included with the sample. (You can print a fact sheet as often as you wish, even before you have completed it, however when actually sending the sample you will want to include a copy that was printed after you have clicked Submit/Lock and successfully locked all of the information.
Send actual sample along with printed copy of the Fact Sheet to your buyer at Luxury Brand Holdings. You must continue to include a printed copy of this fact sheet when sending the sample. Samples received not accompanied by a submitted/locked fact sheet will returned at the vendor’s expense.

Note – when first getting started, you can use the link entitled “Example Factsheet” to view an example of a fact sheet that has been filled out correctly.
