Haining China Leather City
海宁中国皮革城
Founded in 1994 and operated by a Shenzhen-listed company, Haining China Leather City is China's largest specialised leather market and a national AAAA tourist site. It is best known for leather and fur outerwear, plus bags, footwear and raw hides. It suits outerwear retailers and brands looking for leather garments, especially for autumn–winter ranges. Retail tourists also visit, so be clear you are a wholesale buyer to get trade pricing.

Buyer tips
- Visit in late summer or early autumn to see the new winter ranges before peak season.
- Ask exactly which animal leather or fur is used and check import rules — some furs are restricted in certain countries.
- Say you are buying wholesale; tourist retail prices are much higher.
- Haining is about 1 hour from Hangzhou or Shanghai by road/high-speed rail — a feasible day trip.
Getting there
High-speed rail to Haining West station, then taxi; or drive from Hangzhou/Shanghai.
