Source jewellery, footwear and accessories that actually hold margin.
Accessories, jewellery and footwear run on their own factories, minimums and quality traps. Prox finds and vets the right suppliers, negotiates terms, and costs each piece so the category earns its place in the range.
- You are adding jewellery, footwear or accessories to a clothing range and do not know who makes them well.
- Your accessory margins look thin once freight, duty and packaging are counted.
- You are buying accessories through a clothing factory that sub-contracts them out.
- You need small, sensible MOQs to test an accessories line before committing.
- You want a single trinket order below about AUD $20,000, where a full search will not pay for itself.
- You need original jewellery design; Prox specifies and sources, it does not design.
Where the money leaks.
Accessories, jewellery and footwear are their own supply chains. A good garment factory rarely makes a good bag, shoe or pendant, and the clothing supplier who says yes to all three usually sub-contracts the ones it cannot make. That is where margin, quality and lead time quietly leak. Minimums, materials, plating standards, componentry and packaging all behave differently to apparel, and the costing has to follow them.
The steps, in order.
Write the specification per piece. Material, components, finish, plating or hardware standard, packaging, quantity and target landed cost.
Build the long list. Specialist accessory, jewellery and footwear factories from first-hand relationships, not a clothing supplier stretching to cover them.
Qualify. Category capability, real MOQ, compliance and nickel/lead standards for jewellery, references.
Run the quote round. Same specification to every candidate so prices are comparable.
Negotiate. Price, MOQ, componentry cost, sampling and lead time.
Hand over the shortlist. Ranked factories with quotes and direct contacts, plus a per-piece landed cost so you can see the true margin.
- A written specification per accessory, jewellery or footwear piece
- A shortlist of qualified specialist suppliers with direct contacts
- A comparison of quotes, MOQs, lead times and payment terms
- Compliance and materials-standard status where available
- A per-piece landed cost in AUD, so margin is visible before you commit
- A recommendation with reasoning, including who not to use

Answered plainly.
Yes, but rarely from the same factory. Prox keeps apparel and accessory sourcing on separate specialist supplier lists, which is the whole point: each piece is made by a factory that actually makes it well.
Prox qualifies suppliers against the standards that matter for the market you sell in, including nickel and lead limits for jewellery, and records the certificates where they exist.
Footwear MOQs are usually set per last and per colour, not per style. The search surfaces the real minimums early so the buy is planned around them, not surprised by them.
