Dressing You in the Right Coverage

ACT Show and ACT Annual are two styles of clothing insurance you can choose from. Each offers unique coverages, allowing you to stitch together the right plan for you.

If you sell your clothing at events, showcase it in galleries, or feature it in fashion shows, ACT Show may cover you. This short-term policy is best for makers who only participate in these events a few times a year.

The ACT Annual policy includes the same coverage as ACT Show, plus additional coverage for your products and year-round protection. You can also add on coverage for your supplies or professional services, like clothing repairs and personal style consultations.

Do I Need Clothing Store Insurance If I Only Sell Online?

Yes, the ACT Annual* policy offers clothing store insurance coverage for online sales. Your product is still at risk of causing injuries or damages, as well as the risks you face doing business digitally.

Selling a product online or operating your business online puts you at risk of cyber attacks. The ACT Annual policy offers an optional add-on of Cyber Liability Insurance. If your business is attacked and important information or funds are stolen, this coverage can help you pay to retrieve the stolen goods and notify customers of a data breach.

You also likely do a lot of promotions for your business online. If one of your ads is found to violate copyright laws, be accused of defamation, or infringes on someone’s intellectual rights, Personal & Advertising Injury coverage included on this policy may cover you.

What’s the Difference Between a Go vs Pro Clothes Store Insurance Policy?

The two biggest differences between ACT Show and ACT Annual clothes store insurance policies are the type of coverage you need and if you hand make the clothing you sell.

The ACT Show policy can be used at vendor events to sell handmade clothes you make, wholesale, or manufacture. It can also be used for general liability coverage at events like galleries or fashion shows. It is a short-term policy that can cover you for 1–3 days, 7 days, or 90 days consecutively.

The ACT Annual policy* can be used by clothiers who hand make their own clothing. It can cover you at events, as a vendor, for online sales, or for wholesale orders you fulfill. It is a year long policy that includes product liability coverage and gives you the option to add on additional coverages. You can also choose from one yearly payment or 12 monthly payments.

Both policies offer nationwide coverage, free unlimited additional insureds, 24/7 online access to your policy documents, and no deductible on liability claims.

*It’s important to note the ACT Annual policy does require you to hand make at least 80% of the products you are selling. You may use some pieces manufactured by someone else as long as you are changing them from their original form. This may be adding custom embroidery to shirts you buy in bulk, or hand dying pairs of pre-made denim jeans. You cannot be covered by having someone else mass produce a product for you, even if it has your custom designs on it.
