45kg Ladies Coats Mix / 40-45pcs

45kg Ladies’ Coats Bale – A-Grade (Sealed)

Our 45kg Ladies’ Coats Bale is received sealed and resold sealed.

Once opened, you can expect to receive approximately 40–45 women’s coats per bale.

What’s inside

This bale contains women’s coats only, with a strong mix of styles, including:

• Short coats

• Long coats

• Woollen coats

• Cashmere coats

• Plain and classic styles

The variety of lengths and fabrics makes this bale ideal for both everyday wear and higher-value resale.

Sizing

• Women’s sizing only

• A natural mix of sizes due to the variety of styles and cuts

Cost & resale potential

With 40–45 coats per bale, the average cost works out to approximately ±R75 per coat.

The resale strategy with this bale is to:

• Aim to sell at least 40 coats

• Target an average selling price of ±R250 per coat

This is achieved by selling:

• Some coats at R200

• Some at R250

• Higher-value pieces at R300

If done correctly, this can result in a turnover of approximately R10,000 from a bale that costs around ±R3,500.

Smart selling option (what we do in-store)

One effective strategy we use in our retail store is:

• Pricing coats at R300 each

• Or offering 2 coats for R500

This allows you to:

• Move stock faster

• Reduce the number of individual sales

• Convert 20 combo sales instead of 40 separate transactions

It’s simpler, quicker, and extremely effective.

Important to note

As with all bulk clothing bales:

• You may find a few faulty items

• Common issues include missing or loose buttons due to compression during baling

• This is completely normal and part of the process

The good news is that coats are one of the easiest products to fix.

The Pick & Choose process

Following the same Pick & Choose recipe is key:

1. Steam all coats immediately after opening the bale

2. Steaming helps you:

   • Identify dirt or damage clearly

   • See the true value and structure of each coat

3. Sort items into:

   • Ready-to-sell

   • Needs washing

   • Needs minor repairs (buttons, small stitching)

4. Wash where needed and repair minor faults

   • Collaborating with a local seamstress works extremely well

5. Bring all stock back together once cleaned and fixed

6. Do your market research:

   • Compare similar coats in the market

   • Check original retail prices where possible

   • Price accordingly

Why this works

When this process is followed correctly, you are left with high-quality women’s coats selling at competitive prices, while still achieving strong margins.

This is the exact system we use at Pick & Choose in our own warehouse and retail store. By creating a recipe and duplicating it with every bale, we’ve been able to scale from one bale to a full warehouse operation.

Follow the process, trust the system, and let the numbers do the talking.
