What we do

A short catalog, kept on hand and ready to ship.

We deliberately keep our line small. Every item is something we'd stock in our own kitchen or living room — and something we can replenish week after week for the shops that depend on us.

Why shops work with us

Built for the realities of running a small store.

We grew up around small retail. We know what it feels like to need three more sets of mugs before the weekend rush, to get a damaged pallet at the worst possible moment, or to wait days for an answer from a sales rep who never picks up.

Ajnas Traders is built to be the opposite of that — a real person on the other end of every call, predictable lead times, and product photography we actually shoot ourselves so you know what's arriving.

  • Direct line to the owner — no phone tree.
  • Reorder reminders tied to your own season, not ours.
  • Net-30 available for established retail accounts.
  • Free pickup at our San Antonio facility for in-state shops.

How we work

A four-step rhythm that keeps things clear.

01

Listen

We ask about your shop, your customers, and the seasons that matter most to you.

02

Curate

We send a short proposal — usually one page — with photos, lead times and pricing tiers.

03

Pack

Orders are hand-packed in San Antonio with kraft paper and clear, photographed labels.

04

Follow up

A real person checks in after delivery and tracks what to reorder before you ask.

From our partners

The kind of feedback that keeps us going.

Steve and his team are the rare supplier who actually picks up the phone. We've reordered every season for three years now.
Hannah B., Gift shop owner, Fredericksburg TX
The linens arrived perfectly packed and exactly as photographed. We use them across all six of our guest rooms.
Marcus L., Inn manager, Hill Country
A small catalog, but every piece earns its place. That kind of restraint is rare in wholesale right now.
Priya R., Boutique buyer, Austin
