How to Choose a Reputable Leather Handbag Wholesaler

When you’re choosing a wholesaler, price is important—but it’s far from everything. The best wholesalers value quality, transparency, and customer satisfaction. And the right questions can help you figure out whether they’ll be a good fit for you.

1. What Are Your Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)?

Picture this: You’re a small business, just starting to get your feet wet, and suddenly you’re being told you need to order 500 handbags to secure wholesale prices. Ouch. Understanding a wholesaler’s minimum order quantities (MOQs) is key for managing your inventory and staying within budget.

For example, we’ve set a MOQ of 20 pieces per style for ready-to-ship bags on www.bagsplaza.com. This way, you can keep your orders small, manageable, and affordable without sacrificing the benefits of wholesale pricing.

2. Can You Provide Product Samples Before Placing a Large Order?

I get it—ordering large quantities of bags without seeing them in person is risky. Don’t skip the sample phase. It’s your chance to check out the quality, design, and craftsmanship up close. Is the leather soft? Does it feel durable? Does the stitching look like it’ll hold up?

We offer samples so you can see and touch the bags before you take the plunge with a bulk order. This helps avoid any unpleasant surprises down the line.

3. What Are Your Lead Times for Production and Shipping?

Time is everything in business. Knowing how long it takes a wholesaler to produce and ship your handbags gives you the power to plan ahead. You don’t want to get caught scrambling to restock mid-season because you didn’t know the production timeline.

For ready-to-ship bags, we deliver in as little as 7 days. That means you can keep your shelves stocked and your customers happy without a long wait.

4. What Types of Leather Do You Use in Your Products?

Not all leather is created equal. The type of leather used in handbags makes a huge difference in quality, feel, and durability. Full-grain and top-grain leather are generally considered the highest quality, while lower grades might not stand the test of time.

We use premium Italian and locally sourced genuine leather like Full Grain, Top Grain, and Nubuck. Whether you’re looking for something sleek and luxurious or a more budget-friendly option, we’ve got something to match your needs. For more details, visit our Leather Handbags Collection.

5. Do You Offer Customization Options for Designs or Branding?

Want to make your handbags stand out in a crowded market? Customization is the way to go. Whether you want to tweak the design, add your brand logo, or choose unique colors, customizing your handbags can make a world of difference.

Yes, we offer full customization, including bespoke designs and branding options, so your bags reflect your brand’s personality. Learn more about our Custom Handbag Services.

6. What Is Your Pricing Structure, and Are There Any Discounts for Bulk Orders?

We all love a good deal, but what exactly is the pricing structure like? Some wholesalers offer better prices based on order size, and others might have fixed rates. Clarify these details so you’re not caught off guard.

Our pricing is typically based on the order quantity. And if you’re placing larger bulk orders, we offer some great discounts. More bags = more savings!

7. Can You Provide References or Testimonials from Other Clients?

I know how important it is to hear from others who’ve worked with a wholesaler before you commit. Ask for references or testimonials from other clients. This can give you a solid sense of their reliability, product quality, and customer service.

We’ve got plenty of positive reviews from satisfied clients in Europe and the US, all of which attest to our product quality and timely delivery. Read what our clients say on our Testimonials Page.
