Closeout Handbags & Customer Returned Purses

You may have noticed that when you try to find authentic wholesale designer purses/ handbags it impossible to find true wholesale distributors. This article will define wholesale and tell you why it is almost impossible to become an actual wholesaler with a designer handbag company, and will show you the alternative to purchasing wholesale; that is how to purchase authentic designer handbags at below wholesale prices that you can resell instead.First what does Wholesale really mean? Wholesale is the selling of goods to merchants; usually in large quantities for resale to consumers.

According to the United Nations Statistics Division Wholesale is the resale (sale without transformation) of new and used goods to retailers, to industrial, commercial, institutional or professional users, or to other wholesalers, or involves acting as an agent or broker in buying merchandise for, or selling merchandise, to such persons or companies. Wholesalers frequently physically assemble, sort and grade goods in large lots, break bulk, repack and redistribute in smaller lots, for example pharmaceuticals; store, refrigerate, deliver and install goods, engage in sales promotion for their customers and label design.

Designers Keep Their Products Exclusive

Companies, such as Kate Spade, Louis Vuitton and Coach that sell designer handbags will not just sell their handbags to anyone. They are very selective in who they allow to sell their handbags. The companies that they allow to sell their merchandise are required to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars per order and purchase in multiple quantities. In fact Louis Vuitton does not wholesale to anyone. Their products are so exclusive that their handbags can only be purchased at their company owed exclusive shops and one web site.

Recently someone paid to have a question answered on Google Answers and this was the response they were given:

“Most wholesalers in Italy sell lots of $100,000+ at a time, and there are plenty of buyers for this merchandise. Most people who buy from Italy sell in lots of $10-$15k at a time and again, they’re more likely to run OUT of merchandise than be over run with merchandise just lying around. Unless you plan to spend $100K or more, you are probably better off buying from people who buy from people in Italy.” The article went on to give an internet web site link where you could purchase handbags at discount prices and suggested to contact the online store to set up an account with them and negotiate a deal for better prices if you purchased in bulk.

The Secret to Getting Handbags To Resell

Since it is so hard to become a wholesaler for designer handbags you might be wondering how you can get this type of merchandise to resell. You can purchase assorted lots or pallets of designer or top name brand handbags from trusted liquidators. Be sure to inquire about condition. Ask if the purses or handbags are shelf pull or customer returned.

There are many reputable companies on the internet who sell authentic designer handbags at discounts up to 80% off retail prices. These discounted handbags are usually past season, over-production, and closeout items. It is not uncommon to find pallets or lots of authentic name brand handbags which can be purchased in the $10-$20 per handbag range.

I personally have had luck with Via Trading and American Merchandise Liquidators.

It is possible to find bulk lots of designer handbags and purses on a closeout level. Often in lots of 10 handbags to a pallet load. Take your time in researching any company you buy from. It is always best when making a large purchase to visit the warehouse or company you are buying from if possible.
