Buying wholesale straight from a factory in China cuts cost by 30–60% compared with local suppliers. Here is the process step by step.

1. Define the bag type and your market

The most requested categories worldwide are handbags, backpacks, crossbody bags and tote bags. Define your target retail price, material (nylon, Oxford, PU leather) and rough quantity.

That lets the factory suggest the right models immediately, instead of shipping samples you will never use.

2. Choose the model and request a price list

Browse models in the <a href="/wholesale/bags-wholesale">catalog</a>, or send a photo or a sketch. Ask for a price list that states MOQ, unit price and lead times.

The Sanyu factory replies in English within one business day.

3. Samples and quality check

Order 1–3 samples before the bulk order. Check the material, hardware, stitching and packaging.

If you are building a brand, quality control (QC) is essential — agree on it at the sample stage.

4. Payment, production and shipping

The usual terms are 30% deposit and 70% balance before shipment. Custom production takes 25–35 days; stock ships in 3–7 days.

Shipping is by air (faster, more expensive) or by sea (cheaper, slower). Details in the <a href="/blog/bag-shipping-from-china">shipping guide</a>.
