If you are prepared to import, Diosa, why not simply open your own boutique?

You can start by doing what are known as "trunk party sales" book appointments with groups of ladies, have mini fashion shows, take orders. The hostess who throws the parties gets a percentage of the sales as her initiative to throw the party.

They are quite popular and effective here in North America.
