China Leather Collection, Inc. has been an importer and wholesaler of leather products based in Southern California since 1999 and specializes in apparel and accessories for men, women and children. The company also offers beautiful faux leather briefcases and luggage, as well as classic leather coats, jackets and many leather accessories.
China Leather Collection founder Victor Ju was raised and educated in China before coming to the United States to start his own company. In China, he worked for a large Chinese trading company involved in every aspect of garment manufacturing. His knowledge of the apparel trade along with his network of suppliers ensures the best value for the company’s clientele.
The company sells apparel and accessories to distributors and retailers. The product line consists mainly of outerwear for men, women, and children. In addition to outerwear, products also include luggage and accessories such as handbags. The product line continues to change and expand every year based on consumer demand.
We asked Mr. Ju, What is your company’s most important goal? “Our commitment to assisting our clientele with their bottom line is of major importance,” said Ju. “We understand that in this tough economy, we must remain competitive and offer our customers great styles, affordable pricing, and service to match.”
What is your company’s major strength? “Our greatest strength is in our wide variety of suppliers from China which can offer a multitude of items at highly competitive pricing,” explained Ju. “Competition for national markets is limited with only a few competitors that can offer similar product lines. But competition is manageable due to our experience, customer-owner contact, and lower costs due to the variety of suppliers in our network.”
What products do you focus on? “The majority of our product line consists of leather outerwear but we also produce luggage for a network of large distributors in the United States,” said Ju. In addition to outerwear, we produce a variety of other apparel for all seasons and occasions.”
What makes customers come back to our company for repeat business? “Year after year, we see familiar faces of loyal customers that provide repeat business because we offer items that sell and we are willing to work with them on any concerns they may have in regard to growing their business,” replied Ju.
Many buyers choose China Leather Collection over other competitors because the company offers great products at highly competitive pricing. The company also adjusts its product line based on consumer demand so buyers will always find the latest styles in leather. “When the majority of retailers opted to stop carrying animal products such as leather or fur, we offered them faux leather and faux fur,” said Ju. “In addition, we expanded our line to include denim, nylon, and fleece.”
What type of events makes you adjust your inventory? “When the market saw higher spending in younger consumers, we offered fashion-forward items that didn’t bust their budgets,” said Ju. “When costs increased dramatically overseas, we did everything in our power to keep the costs from being passed on to our clients.”
This kind of management sounds like an excellent way to keep a business thriving as wholesalers must be responsive in today’s economy. “Each year, we challenge ourselves to surpass the previous year’s achievements,” said Ju. “We know that the best way to help ourselves is to help our customers grow their business.”
