THE FASHION INSIDER

If you have a fashion merchandising degree, chances are that you are aware of the how the retail fashion industry works, and how its distribution system operates. As such, your business may be more in the lines of fashion retail and distribution, aside from fashion design.

The business of fashion retail is all about knowing where to look for suppliers. For example, if you are into leather goods distribution, you should know where to get wholesale coach purses. Wholesale coach purses will be priced much lower than if you were buying them in retail. Because you buy them at a lower price, you can add a decent mark up and still be able to sell them at competitive prices. How much mark up you add will determine how much profits you earn.

THE RETAIL BUSINESS

In so far as wholesale coach purses and other fashion goods, such as wholesale designer watches are concerned, they work very similarly to other retail goods. There is usually a group of accredited wholesale distributors that you can make transactions with. Depending on their agreement with the actual manufacturer, you can only deal with the wholesale distributors and not directly with the manufacturer.

This system works for the manufacturing company because the wholesale distributors buy their products in bulk, and sell the piecemeal to retailers, where the consumers buy them per unit.

However, there are some cases where the manufacturing companies will deal with retail companies, especially if the volume of their purchase is big enough or if the retail store is very popular and has great clout in the industry.

If you are an outsider or new in the fashion retail industry, getting wholesale coach purses can be difficult because you have to be a member for any distributor to give you access to the wholesale market.
