      <h1>About Designer Representatives</h1>
      <p class="lede">
        We index the independent sales agencies that bring textile, wallcovering,
        and contract lines to designers, showrooms, and specifiers.
      </p>

      <h2>Why a directory of reps, not brands?</h2>
      <p>
        When a designer specs a line, the rep is who actually services the
        project — sample logistics, lead-time questions, claims, in-showroom
        presentations, dealer pricing. Brand websites rarely surface the rep
        for a given territory. We do.
      </p>

      <h2>How listings work</h2>
      <ul class="prose">
        <li>Listings are <strong>free</strong>. We do not charge for placement and we do not run paid ads above organic results.</li>
        <li>Initial listings are seeded from publicly available agency websites.</li>
        <li>Agency owners can <a href="/claim">claim</a> their profile to update lines, territories, contact, and bio.</li>
        <li>We do not sell rep contact data.</li>
      </ul>

      <h2>Scope</h2>
      <p>
        We cover U.S. independent rep agencies serving:
        residential interior design, hospitality, contract / commercial, healthcare,
        education, retail, office, hotel brand, F&amp;B, and luxury / boutique
        verticals. International rep agencies are added on request.
      </p>

      <h2>Who runs this</h2>
      <p>
        Designer Representatives is an editorial sister property of
        <a href="https://designerwallcoverings.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Designer Wallcoverings</a>,
        a Sherman Oaks–based wallcovering and textile dealer. We do not represent
        a single line; we map the rep landscape.
