Sari: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.40 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. 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 sari, 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.
Published wholesale saree listings cluster around roughly USD 5-13 per piece on US-facing marketplaces, while India-based wholesale/catalog suppliers commonly show INR price points in the roughly ₹149-₹1,207 range depending on fabric and embellishment. The biggest price drivers are fabric choice (cotton vs silk vs blended), print/embroidery complexity, and whether a blouse piece or heavy finishing is included. For mid-range custom printed volume, the most realistic sourcing routes are Surat/India wholesale exporters, Alibaba-style factory suppliers, and US-facing import resellers; landed-equivalent pricing should step down with higher MOQ, but ornate bridal or handwork styles will sit far above these bands.
