FAQs - (Frequently Asked Questions)
-What are the prices of these leather goods?
-What is the usual markup/profit margin?
Typically your retail price will be three times your cost. In general this gives you enough profits and covers shipping and customs fees (when applicable) while at the same time keeping the price competitive.
-Will they sell well?
These belts and wallets made from fine Italian leather are proven sellers worldwide. Our products have the added advantage of being affordable, the styles and colours are the trend setting Italian ones each season. All these factors combined ensure wonderful, steady sales for our clients, season after season.
-Which is the brand? Can you make them with my brand?
These python snakeskin goods are sold unbranded normally. However, we are proud to be able to brand them with your own logo! Create your own line of products quickly and inexpensively. Just send us the artwork in digital format and we will create a metal stamp to stamp your logo on the leather. Setup costs about Euro 100, stamping adds about 1-2 Euros to the price of each item. You can also forward your paper and price tags/barcodes. They will be attached to the goods here while they are manufactured so that they will be ready for your store's shelves as soon as you pull them out of the box! Private label is the fastest growing trend. Capitalize on it!
-Where are the goods made?
All the goods shown are Made in Tuscany, Italy employing local skilled labour in compliance with EU regulations. Locally tanned leathers are employed. Our area in Italy in fact has some of the most famous tanneries in the world.
-Are the goods in stock or do I have to order them?
There are usually a few hundreds pieces in stock. However as inventory changes daily it is difficult for us to let you know exactly what is available at a given time. We recommend fly-and-buy. We can meet you at Florence or Pisa airport and take you to the warehouse for selection. It is that simple.
If you like certain particular styles and colours, we do recommend that you place an order. The items will then be made to your specifications and quantities usually within 3-4 weeks.
-How do I purchase items in stock? Where is the warehouse?
Contact us to book a meeting. Warehouse is between Florence and Pisa, Italy and it is easily served by Pisa or Florence airport and by discount airlines. We will take you to the warehouse and assist you through selection, payments, paperwork and shipping.
-How do I place an order?
Just contact us describing desired styles, colours and quantities. Confirmation will be given very quickly and then if all is agreable a proforma invoice will be issued itemizing pricing and delivery terms.
-Is it possible to choose different colours and leather types?
Yes of course.
The leathers and colours in the photos are the trendy, best selling ones this season.
-What are the minimum quantities for an order?
For manufacturing orders a minimum of ten pieces per style per colour are required. That is, for example, if you'd like belt style 2150 in both brown and black python, you'd have to order at least ten pieces in brown and ten pieces in black.
To buy from available stock there are no minimums but considering that you will most likely come to Italy to purchase, usually 100 pieces is a minimum figure to make a return on your investment.
-What is the lead time of orders?
Most orders are completed within 4 weeks from approval. However plan with plenty of advance. There are certain times of year when production is extremely busy and times when things are slower. However we will let you know upon you inquiring. Also consider that if you wish to use particular leathers or colours which are normally not in stock, the delivery time for the leather can be another 3-4 weeks. We do recommend to plan along with the International fashion schedule, for example: Autumn/Winter collections, which go on the shelves in september/october, are ordered in january/february to be manufactured and delivered before summer.
-What are the prices? Do they include shipping and customs?
You can find pricing in the catalog
The prices indicated are FOB Florence, Italy. Shipping is NOT included, though we can arrange it for you if you don't have a contract with a particular freight. If delivery is outside the EU, custom fees will be requested for the goods to clear customs. Custom fees are also NOT included in our pricing and they vary from country to country. Please consult with your country's customs office or with your freight to find out rates and any particular documentation required for customs clearance of leather goods Made in Italy. Very broadly speaking custom fees for leather goods range from 5 to 10% of invoice value.
-What type of payments are accepted?
Bank money transfer is the standard (T/T). Letter of credit (L/C) for large purchases (Above Euro 25,000) Cash for smaller purchases at the warehouse. Please note that a 30% deposit is requested at the time of order. The balance is due when goods are ready for pickup. In no case the goods are released until full payment has been received.
-Can you manufacture my own designs?
Yes we can! For this purpose we employ a special laboratory for prototyping your designs into samples before production. We usually require accurate 3D renderings of your designs from all views in order to manufacture your protoypes. We follow all particular aspects of your production, sourcing leather, hardware, designers, labels, planning costs and even marketing and branding.
