Q&A: Wholesale accessories, HELP!?

I’m starting my own online company selling accesorries, shoes, bags, some tops, and wallets. I want to offer cute items at a reasonable price, so buying from expensive companies is a “no”. However, I have noticed that asian companies such as: Dizzy Darling, Tokyo Fashion Co, and I’Miusa sell really adorable things. The only problem is that I can’t find a wholesale website that sells these things and that looks legit. If someone knows of a company or website that either A: sells items from the brands I just mentioned or B:sell items that are of the same quality and cuteness. I HATE HATE HATE the wholesale jewelry that is clearly wholesale and obviously comes in bunches of 20 for a $ 1. I’m willing to pay a little more for cuter items. I don’t like peace signs, playboy pendants, marajuana leaf jewelry, ugly bead jewelry, butterfly clips, ying yangs, flip flop necklaces….you know the typical items you find when you google WHOLESALE ACCESSORIES. Does anyone know of a good website? Has anyone had a nice experience with a website? Please let me know. I hate to sound rude when mentioning what I’m looking for, but I’m getting so frustrated. Here is an example of what I DON’T want: http://www.wholesalewholesale.com/. Here is an example of what I WANT: http://www.angiehearts.net/new_accessories_s/22.htm . Once again, sorry to sound rude, if you could help I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Best answer:

suggest you try to view the wholesale policy of the website which i will commend , that is a reliable online store with really good quality but low price.if you order more than 5 items and they will provide the wholesale price that is discounts about $ 3 each.i hope this helpful to you ,just trying…..

If you buy in bulk like 10 pairs, I will sell 10 pairs for $ 70 but you need to email me in the contact section as all my jewellery is full price on my site

Hi!

I don’t think you sound rude at all. I think you sound like you know what you want. Here are a couple of sites that I can recommend. One site sells handbags, clothing, sunglasses etc.. and they are really popular and get a lot of great reviews.
