Top 20 garments & fashion accessories (October 2013): It's in the bag

Posted: November 26, 2013

Two bag types stood out in an otherwise slow October for GlobalSources.com's top 20 garments and fashion accessories.

Inquiries for synthetic leather handbags more than doubled on month, bumping up the segment eight places to sixth. Spurring interest are models boasting patchwork and embossed details resembling exotic animal skins.

Daypacks joined the top 20 via a 313 percent jump in inquiries from September. This is the best showing among the new entrants to the October listing, which also include menâs polo shirts, womenâs panties and sunglasses, and silicone watches.

Valentine's Day gifts sourcing, meanwhile, is boosting business for suppliers of fashion watches and jewelry sets, and bracelets, all of which generated higher inquiries last month.
