Retail Experience, Put to Work

Commerce & Cloth helps independent retailers strengthen the details behind their business—from merchandising and e-commerce to inventory, product presentation, and customer experience.

Built for Independent Retail

We created Commerce & Cloth after nearly a decade working inside retail, across operations, buying, product management, merchandising, inventory planning, e-commerce, and customer service.

That experience taught us that the strongest retailers are often the ones with the clearest point of view—but running the business behind that vision can be complicated. Commerce & Cloth provides an experienced outside perspective to help identify opportunities, solve problems, and strengthen the details that matter.

Peyton Thomas, Founder

Peyton has spent nearly a decade building her career inside retail, working across buying, product management, merchandising, e-commerce, inventory planning, operations, vendor relationships, and customer experience. That breadth of experience has given her a rare perspective: she understands both how a brand should feel to the customer and everything that has to happen behind the scenes to make that experience feel effortless.

Her strength lies in the details. Peyton has a sharp eye for the inconsistencies, missed opportunities, and seemingly small decisions that can quietly weaken a brand—from the way a product is named and presented online to assortment, merchandising, imagery, copy, pricing, and the experience a customer has at every touchpoint.

She believes the strongest retailers have a clear point of view. The goal is not simply to sell more product, but to create a business where every element feels intentional and unmistakably connected to the brand.

Through Commerce & Cloth, Peyton brings that combination of creative instinct, commercial experience, and meticulous attention to detail to independent retailers—helping them sharpen their identity, strengthen the customer experience, and turn a compelling brand vision into a more cohesive business.

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Peyton is especially drawn to independent retailers with character, heritage, and a strong sense of who they are.
