Michael Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I've just bought some from Oxford Leathercraft, not sorted them yet as been away but I've had them before from them and they are good quality> I use them as my premium range with a few cheaper ones from my usual supplier as budget range. algsoul and hibsjo(SCO) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 When we used to sell them we visited the cash and carry merchants in Manchester on Cheetham hill road. Stopped selling wallets and purses years ago though to make way for more padlocks. completelocks and hibsjo(SCO) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexus Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I think https://www.wholesalehandbags.co.uk/ is the one Graham mentioned. I always found them to be very efficient, and their online catalogue is extremely comprhensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been able to get them from our regular wholesalers so thats handy (tho I often feel that fashion stuff is a losing battle, these caps are £3.50+vat, can get a similar hat from Primark for £4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make templates, I case I want to make more of the same. It's just something I enjoy doing if it's quiet. Sometimes I make all the parts and sit at home stitching them whilst watching TV... quite theroputic.. x minit uk and kobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I like doing my own stuff, bespoke, quality & no one can undercut on the same product. I mean that green lady's bag, you can buy aomething alike for £10 £15 on the market.. laminated plastic rubbish. I get £85 for those, sold one today, a customer saw me making it, paid for it and it's not even finished! collecting next week... People like à Nice heavy quality bag.
