Trade guide
How boutiques stock leather goods for play
August 1, 2026·7 min read·Tannoir

If you buy for a boutique, concept store, adult retailer, or online stockist, the leather wall is a different problem than filling a novelty pegboard. Customers touch the edge, test the buckle, and remember how it felt when they leave empty-handed.
This guide is for trade buyers only. It explains how wholesale works with a maker-direct house — minimums, lead times, what ships now, custom and exotic options — and how to request lookbook pricing from Tannoir. It is not a consumer shopping list.
Who this is for
Wholesale at Tannoir is resale only. We work with boutiques, concept stores, adult shops, and online stockists that have a real storefront — a website or Instagram shop with clear commercial presence.
Personal one-off orders are a different path and different pricing. If you want a single made-to-order set for yourself, see the Signature O-ring Collar & Chain Leash. Everything below is for stockists building inventory.
Distributor catalog vs maker-direct house
Broad adult distributors are built for speed and breadth: thousands of SKUs, familiar brands, warehouse turnaround. That model works for many categories. Leather for play is where sell-through often hinges on feel, hardware, and whether the piece still looks expensive after a season on the shelf.
A maker-direct house cuts, finishes, sets hardware, and packs in its own workshop. You get a clearer line to reorders, private label, and on-demand work — and you are not competing with every other shop on the same commodity grid. The trade-off is process: application, MOQ, and lead times that reflect craft production, not overnight dropship.

How trade access works at Tannoir
We keep the path simple so serious stockists are not guessing.
- Apply on the site with business details and estimated volume. Retailers only.
- Qualified stockists receive the lookbook, wholesale pricing, and trade terms — usually within one business day.
- Custom design, private label, and exotic leather options are included in the conversation once you have the pack.
- First orders start at MOQ 12 units mixed across the line. Reorders are flexible.
- Core lead times run about 2–4 weeks. Custom, made-to-measure, and private label about 4–6 weeks. Exotic or complex work is confirmed on quote.
MOQ, lead times, and samples
First wholesale orders start at twelve units mixed across the line. That lets you open a wall with more than one silhouette without committing to a full case of a single style. Reorders do not force the same opening minimum.
Core wholesale production is typically about two to four weeks. Custom design, private label, and made-to-measure sit around four to six weeks. Exotic leather or complex commissions are scoped per project — we confirm timing on quote, not with a generic promise.
Samples are available for qualified stockists. Note sample interest on your application; we arrange them after we understand the account.
Payment is proforma or deposit. We ship worldwide. Full unit pricing lives in the trade pack after application — we do not publish wholesale price lists on the open site.
Full line, on demand, private label, exotic
The house covers a full BDSM-niche leather line for stockists — collars, harnesses, cuffs, restraints, leashes, garters, briefs, sets, and more, through to newer categories such as hoods, gags, impact, and corsetry.
Core categories are in production for wholesale now. Newer categories ship as pre-order for trade. Commission work covers made-to-measure, custom design, private label (your mark, exclusive colours, store exclusives), and exotic leathers for qualified stockists.
Exotic skins — including python and other exotics for selected work — are not a free-for-all catalog add-on. Scope, timing, and suitability are confirmed per project so what lands on your shelf matches what was promised.

Craft signals stockists can use on the floor
Buyers do not need a tannery lecture. They need a short list of cues that separate erotic leather built to last from costume-grade PU that dies under store lights.
- Full-grain vegetable-tanned leather on the core line — grain you can see and feel.
- Solid brass hardware, set by hand — not painted pot metal that flakes.
- Edges burnished by hand — cleaner finish, better hand-feel in the fitting room.
- Consistent embossed mark and discreet packaging (matte slipcase, bone tissue) so unboxing and social content match the price point.
- A repair stance from the maker: we repair what we make, which matters when a stockist stands behind the piece.

Personal orders vs wholesale
If someone on your team or a customer wants a single personal piece, that is not wholesale pricing and not the trade form. The Signature O-ring Collar & Chain Leash is available made to order on its own page. Other personal pieces: email hello@tannoir.com or Instagram @tannoirr.
Stockists stay on the trade path: application, lookbook, MOQ, and wholesale terms.
