Tour overview

From wholesale showroom to factory floor

Guangzhou is the beating heart of China's leather-goods trade, and this half-day takes you from its landmark bag markets straight to the factory where the bags are born.

You'll move through floor after floor of wholesale showrooms, then follow the full production process inside a working handbag factory—understanding sourcing, quality grades, and wholesale pricing directly from the people who make and trade these goods every day.

It's ideal for business travellers and anyone curious about the fashion market, and a firm favourite with fashion entrepreneurs, design students, and Canton Fair visitors. Your experienced English-speaking guide translates the language, the grades, and the numbers.

Ideal for

Business travellers, fashion entrepreneurs, design students, and Canton Fair visitors who want to understand sourcing, quality, and wholesale pricing from the inside.

Why we designed this journey

The bag trade runs on relationships and know-how

Guangzhou's leather markets are vast, fast, and built for insiders—wholesale showrooms rarely welcome walk-ins, and quality and pricing swing on details most visitors can't see. We designed this tour to give you that insider view: how to tell one quality grade from another, how wholesale pricing is set, and how a handbag actually comes together on the factory floor. With private transport between every stop and a guide who speaks the trade, you cover ground efficiently and leave understanding the business, not just admiring the bags.
