So what have we learned?

We now know that Swank Inc., Circa Corporation and Tandy Brands source some of their products from Taiwan. But Circa Corporation also sources from Italy, where Swank & Tandy Brands primarily stay in Asia. Tandy is strong in HK. They all work with Major Retailers but in different capacities. Both Swank and Tandy Brands handle Brand Names & Private Label. Tandy brands also has Proprietary Brands while Circa corporation sells itself basically as a manufacturer.

We’ve learned that if we want to supply products for belts to Guess, we need to probably be in touch with Swank Inc. We’ve learned that Max Leather Group and Ciprianni Accessories are actually 1 company owned by Li&Fung. If we want to supply products to either one of these companies, we would probably need to be in touch with Li&Fung. Or do we contact the suppliers directly? Or do we cover all angles?

We’ve learned that all of the top Leather belt importers have overlap in their supplier base and we have a better understanding how much there is. We’ve learned that Tandy Brands imports the most leather belts when we combine all of their positions on the original search list. We’ve also learned that Circa Corporation takes a larger % of orders from their suppliers than do their competition. What does that mean to you?
