Outlined below are the main terms for our wholesale distribution to provide you with an idea of how we work and for you to be able to judge if our proposition is one which is attractive and suitable for you.
As you will have no doubt already seen from our website we are based within the home of Italian leather, just outside Florence in Italy, where we have direct 'hands on' relationships with all the Italian designers we stock. Due to this ideal position we are constantly able to provide our clients with the latest styles in Italian fashion at an affordable price. Cardi-Italia has been an established business for several years and has wholesale clients in the UK, Ireland, Europe and the United States as well as Australia.
Although we are based near Florence in Italy we are a UK registered company.
There are no long term contracts which you have to sign up to if you wish to work with us. We do not tie our customers into ordering a certain amount of bags on a regular basis or over a certain period of time. The only stipulation we have is any order has to be of a minimum of 10 bags. Other than that it is completely flexible for you as to how often and how much you order from us. The quality of our products speaks for themselves, resulting in our clients coming back to us time and time again as their main provider.
There are benefits for ordering larger quantities, attractive discounts will be applied on quotations to reflect the cost of your order.
Orders are taken via email, we will then process the invoice for your final confirmation. Once you have confirmed, the order payment will be required upfront. This will be reviewed as our working relationship builds. We typically renegotiate after 3 months (dependant on the level of ordering). Payment is received in the form of an electronic funds transfer and we invoice in UK pound sterling (£)for UK customers. We invoice in Euros for customers based outside the UK or clients who wish to pay via a Paypal account*.(*Please note fees may apply).
Once your order has been boxed and ready for shipping, you will receive emailed confirmation with an estimated timescale for delivery. Typically for shipments to the UK and Europe we recommend you allow approximately 5-7
working days, but we do endeavor to get your order to you as soon as possible and all orders are tracked.
The cost of the shipment will be included within your invoice and is determined by the size and weight of your order. Cardi-Italia will insure your shipment at no extra cost to yourself for safe delivery.
Please see our Shipping and Returns details for a guide to costs
We will give you an exact shipment figure for each order along with your invoice in order for you to confirm the total cost of the order before any commitment is made. *Please note that due to being an international company these shipment figures may vary dependant on the current exchange rates.

All offers and promotions are subject to change without notification. The "Free bag offer" consists of one free bag with a minimum order of 20 items. The type, colour and style of bag is subject to availability. A choice of bag is not available although all bags will be from our top selling range of items.

Production of Goods
'Due to the increase in popularity of these bags and also the increasing labour costs in Italy it has been announced that these two brands will be now produced outside of Italy.
The leather will still be from florence and all the cutting of the patterns and the dying of the leather will be done in the main Italian production factory. However some styles will be shipped to China for stitching. Even though 80% of the work will be done in Florence they have to mark these as made in China for customs purposes. This mark will be in the form of a white removable tag that will be applied to the inside of each of the bags.
All production will be monitored in China by the current production manager to ensure that the quality of these two brands are in no way inferior to that which have been produced in Italy'.
We have always felt, as a company, it is important to be honest with any issues that arise so wished to inform all of our clients as soon as we had been explained the situation by the Designers. We appreciate that this decision may influence purchasing the Daniela Moda and Cavalieri styles in the future, however we are encouraged to see that they are looking at alternative methods which will endeavour to meet the ever increasing demand for their products which I think you will agree are a great quality and value for money set of brands which are still on of the leading marks within Italy.
If you have any questions about the above or would like any other information please don't hesitate to let us know.
