The chinchilla hair supply in China

As long as you know something about the makeup brushes or this industry, you may know that makeup brushes with chinchilla hair are very expensive. I have explained why they are expensive in my previous article, here no repeat again.

I would like to say here in this article is about the supply of chinchilla hair in China.

Due to the precious and expensive, not so many factories in China can afford the risks to supply such hair. From what I have known, there are just 4 factories in China can make the chinchilla hair, and all Chinese makeup brush manufacturers who want to manufacture makeup brushes with chinchilla hair have to buy from these 4 suppliers.

It is greatly different from the goat hair, pony hair or even sable hairs have hundreds or thousands suppliers in China. As these hairs are so common that the suppliers can store a lot of amount in inventory, even if the customers suddenly cancel the orders, it is no risks for the suppliers, as there must be a lot of other customers need the hairs, as long as the makeup brush market does not die, they can sell these hairs out.

But chinchilla hair is totally different, first, just few customers need such expensive brushes, if they suddenly cancel orders, it will be very difficult to sell them to other customers. Also due to the high cost, capital turnover will be another problem for the suppliers.

Therefore, despite of the high profit, not all makeup brush suppliers are happy to accept the orders to custom makeup brushes with chinchilla hair. And even if they accept the order, the payment terms may be strict; they must require some deposit before production.
