Utilizing the Drop Shipping business model, your retailer doesn't keep purses in stock. The retailer collaborates with a outside partner. Your order ships from a third-party distribution partner. Depending on location of distribution partner, there may be tariffs involved in shipping.  Shipping times and cost depend on the location of the distribution partner and their facilities.

Print-on-Demand is a specialized form of drop shipping. The structural design of the bag is developed by an outside partner.  The bag is adorned with artwork created
in-house by the retailer.  The outside
partner prints the artwork on the bag after you place and pay for your order.  The retailer does not have inventory on hand. 99% of print on demand partners are overseas.  Expect slower delivery and higher shipping cost due to tariffs.

White labeling is a form of dropshipping, means your retailer partners with a manufacturer that produces ready-made products. These products are not customized but are sold under the
retailer’s brand name. The manufacturing partner ships the product to you once
you have placed and paid for your order. This approach allows the retailer to
offer quality products quickly, without carrying inventory or managing
production.

Private labeling is another form of dropshipping, means your retailer collaborates with a design and manufacturing to customize an existing product. The product’s foundation already exists, but the retailer can adjust elements like color, materials, packaging, and
branding. This approach allows for a tailored look and feel while keeping
production efficient and cost-effective.

Bespoke design means your retailer works with designers and manufacturers to create a product entirely from scratch. Every detail, from shape and structure to materials, hardware, and finishing is developed specifically for that brand/retailer. This approach offers complete creative freedom and produces a
truly one-of-a-kind item that cannot be replicated by others.  Depending on the manufacturer, the retailer orders a ‘run’ (set) of items in specific numbers/units.  The retailer must obtain storage, manage
inventory and procure shipping.
