Kimono: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.87 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.22 at volume. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For kimono, the drivers are size run, fabric weight, blend, print method, color count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted pricing varies sharply by route: vintage bulk kimono by weight is priced per pound, while factory-made kimono or kimono-style robes are priced per piece and fall with MOQ. Fabric, construction, and print complexity matter most; lightweight nonwoven or disposable-style listings are far cheaper than silk, polyester bathrobes, or custom fashion kimonos. Realistic supplier routes are Chinese marketplaces for factory goods and vintage/used wholesalers for authentic Japanese kimono lots, but the latter is not a good match for a mid-range custom-printed apparel product.
