Buying Leather Wristbands at Wholesale Prices B2B

With the turn of the century came the mass tidal wave of open global trade which opened the doors for production giants such as China, Peru, and India to introduce their leather products to the market. Although Mexico is known to have some of the best leather tanneries in the world, they mostly deal in the trade of whole leather hides, not so much in the production of leather goods.

With that in mind, these production giants have flooded the market with an abundant amount of leather products most of which (not all) that are of very low quality. When buying in bulk make sure you keep the following points in mind, which in turn will result in a higher return on investment (ROI) when buying handmade leather bracelets.

Number one rule when buying wholesale leather wristbands is that price is not everything. Although in many cases the price is set low to attract a buyer, don't expect much from the product itself. Usually made from faux leather which is fake or artificial leather that is processed to look and feel like the real thing tends to wear and tear after wearing it a few times.

Also be cautious of leather cuff retailers that advise you not to expose their leather product to water. Water is NOT leathers arch nemesis. This is a good sign that the leather product you are buying is made of fake or low quality material. Exposing leather to water will only softened it at first but when dry will regain it's original state. If it's leather that has been dyed, water may / will fade the color a bit.

From my experience when buying wholesale leather wristbands, I try to find a source that uses authentic leather. You can get a good idea of the leather someone is selling by looking at their product images. Second, I look at their prices, if they range between $1.00 and $2.00 dollars a piece or lower than be cautious as to what you are buying, price and quality go hand in hand.

On average a good quality leather wristband should cost between $4.00 - $10.00 wholesale depending on the leather that is being used and the hardware on it. Bare in mind, you are representing yourself and your company to your customers, spending an extra dollar or two per piece can make a difference between a repeat happy customer that will refer you to all their friends and an angry one time customer that will only bad mouth your business.
