Sourcing fashion accessories that are not in the catalogue
Saw a pair of earrings, a bag or a hair clip at a trade fair or online, and want it cheaper, in your colours or under your own brand? We look for the manufacturers behind that type of product, compare them and run the order for you, without copying anyone’s design or logo.
This is also how we handle accessories that are not in our catalogue: a specific chain or clasp, a plating colour, a leather wallet in your size, a scarf print, a display stand. Send a photo, a sketch or a link.
What sourcing includes
Finding manufacturers
We look beyond the first page of B2B platforms and contact manufacturers, not only trading companies.
Checking the factory
Business licence, export history, production capacity and the nickel, cadmium and lead reports the factory can show.
Comparing quotes
Quotes on the same specification, including base metal, plating, packing, MOQ per colour and lead time, compared like for like.
Samples
Samples from shortlisted factories, consolidated and sent to you in one parcel.
Negotiation
Price, payment terms, packaging and quality standards negotiated directly with the factory.
Order management
Contract, production follow-up, inspection, EU labels and handover to logistics.

Sourcing agent or EU importer?
Typical accessories sourcing agent
Finds suppliers and charges a commission, but you remain the importer: you pay the factory, arrange freight and customs, and carry the EU duties for nickel data, GPSR labels and sunglasses documents.
AccessoriQ
Finds suppliers and also buys the goods, imports them into the EU, prepares the GPSR labels and invoices you as an EU company. One partner, one price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does sourcing cost?
If you order through us, sourcing is included in the product price. For research-only projects without an order, we agree a fixed fee in advance.
Are you a jewelry manufacturer in Europe?
No. We are an EU importer working with partner factories outside the EU. You get factory-direct prices with an EU company as importer, while production itself happens at the manufacturer.
Will you tell me the factory name?
For private label projects we work under our own contracts with the factories. If you need direct factory contact, we can agree a sourcing-fee model instead.
Can you copy a design I saw from a known brand?
No. We do not source copies of brands, logos or recognisable designs. We can source a product of the same type in your own design, colours and materials.
What if no factory meets my target price?
We tell you and show what is possible at your price, for example with stainless steel instead of plated brass, PU instead of leather or a larger quantity.
Do you source products other than fashion accessories?
Our focus here is fashion accessories. For mascots, souvenirs, pet, camping, travel, sports and fishing products, see our sister brands MascotiQ, SouveniQ, PetsIQ, CampIQ, VoyagiQ, SportsiQ and TackliQ.
