I am interested in purchasing these types of handbags for the cheapest
price -wholesale and minimum quantiy of each color style

Dear Leazasc, 

I shall start with my general explanations about wholesale and
wholesale prices. There's a difference between the two, as it applies
to the Internet e-commerce world. "Wholesale price" is used many times
by sellers, who claim to have a cheaper price than what is sold in
stores. Sometimes this is true, sometimes it isn't, and with label
apparel, there's always the chance of infringement and forgery.

Real wholesale is usually sold only with specific certificates
(confirming that you are a business owner), usually only from official
distributors (if it is a label, not a type of bag, such as corset) and
in quantities. Sometimes, due to competition, manufacturers and
distributors do not reveal wholesale price online, until they validate
you as a business owner.

The UK leading corsetier, Fairy Goth Mother,
<http://fairygothmother.co.uk/order.htm>, also would not reveal
wholesale details without a VAT number.

Roebuck is the second leading designer in the field,
<http://www.roebuck-rk.co.uk/>, you could contact them on distribution
and wholesale on their homepage.

Black Angel <http://shop.the-black-angel.com/UK/en-gb/dept_32.html>
sells corset bags (and also wallets). Their wholesale information is
at <http://www.the-black-angel.com/html/UK/wholesale_UK.htm>.

Stormy Leather http://www.stormyleather.com/contactus.asp, a US based
store,  - has a wholesale department, but wholesale prices are not
revealed online.

Ebay has several wholesale auctions of Corset or Bustier bags, usually
10 to 20 pieces. In this auction, for example, "Buy iy Now" costs £55,
which leaves £5.5 per bag (plus shipping, VAT, taxation etc.).
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3442119034&category=38436

Naturally, the offering in eBay changes from time to time. 

I hope that aswered your question. In order to find the answer, I
searched both Google and Froogle <www.froogle.com> for words such as
"corset handbags OR bags" (or Bustier handbags OR bags), sometimes
with the word "wholesale".

If you need any further clarification on this answer, please let me
know, before you tip/rate it.

Thank you very much for your help this is the 1st time I have used the
service perhaps I wasn't detailed enough in my request. Iam in
business on the Gold Coast QLD OZ and want to re sell the corset bags
I would therefore prefer to get wholesale or manufactures prices not
stores. ps the UK prices convert to 3 time for my dollar US isnt so
bad.These sites you have given me must get their product made
somewhere.Once again thanks very much you got more than I did

Dear Leazasc, 

Some of the names mentioned before *are* manufacturers : namely
Roebuck. The Mission Boutique
<https://www.keysecure.com/themissionboutique.com/cart/mission2/purses%20and%20bags.html>,
for example import their products :
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=2bbd1926.0304102102.2ffb70b2%40posting.google.com),
and Fairy Goth Mother.

However, I keep on looking. Right now, it seems that manufacturers of
these bags usually rely on "custom" makes.

Very quick response impressed Thanks

Dear leazasc, 

Thank you and good luck!
