Hello friends!
I'm a Canadian clothing designer & traveler who's about to kick off her business, & could use a little help with research.
I want to get leather products manufactured in Bali - but am having a hard time finding price points so that I can properly sort out my business plan. Its easy enough to find prices to get ONE of something made - but I know the price drops if you get multiples made. (IE 10 different styles, and 30 of each individual style made)
Does anyone know the basic price points/know a link or phone number for me to find some basic price points on:
1 - the cost of various leathers - JUST the hide... not made into anything yet (especially buffalo/cow)
2 - Custom made metal notions. Zippers, buttons, rivets, beads etc with my company logo imprinted on them
3 - some price points on manufacturing. Phone numbers, websites, etc can only help me now as I am not currently in Bali. IE if I go to the manufacturer and say "here's the patterns, here's all the fabric and leather an notions - please make it for me" (Something simple - say a plain mens leather vest) , what is the ballpark price? No exact numbers I know can be given until I'm there... but I don't know if it will cost me $5 per or $150 per.
Thanks for your help fellow travelers <3
