Who is Rojé?
Rojé Group is a professional exotic leather brokerage with a world-wide reputation among exotic leather connoisseurs and dealers for our wide array of exotic leathers and leather products, our ability to provide the highest quality, and our dedication to providing the most affordable wholesale prices.
We only purchase and sell the best quality exotic leather available.
Our leather experts comb the globe to provide you with only the best exotic leather products. We have tanneries and partners stretching across the world for exotic leather wholesale, custom leather fashion, and furniture development. By trusting in our expertise, we can source you with the highest quality leather goods and services at incredibly competitive prices.
Timing is Everything – Customer satisfaction is the key to our success.
All Rojé products are imported into the United States prior to being sold domestically. Rojé customers know that every genuine exotic leather hide we choose has been hand-inspected by our experts. Only those materials that meet our industry-exceeding standards are accepted.

Q&A
Are all of the exotic skins you stock and offer 100% genuine?
I want a better price; I don’t want to pay retail.
Exotic skins are a commodity like wheat, chicken, oil, gas, and sugar. As such, the economics of exotic leather experience the same supply/demand fluctuations. Demand within the United States and abroad is a key point in the price of any exotic leather. Some examples of major factors that change supply and demand in the exotic leather industry are similar to any raw resource:
- The price of meat (as leather is often a by-product).
- Seasonal changes that affect the production of leather, or the demand for certain leathers
- Fashion trends and consumer demand.
Rojé does not discriminate between the first-time customer and the long-time established customer – we work with each individually to determine the production requirements, yield in leathers, and availability of that leather in the desired color and finish.
I want to produce a product in exotic leather. How does sampling work?
The purpose of sampling is for a production artist to first ensure they want to use the material, and secondly to ensure the color or finish matches the design. Savvy designers will test the marketability of their goods by first producing a sample, market their sample design to potential multiple buyers, and then place a wholesale production order with us in order to receive production-level pricing on skins. This way, profits are maximized and/or justify the price of the finished product for both the artist and the end user.
Our sampling prices are fair and often less than most suppliers. We carefully select the market price based on your needs and a production order rate will never exceed a sampling rate; it is unethical to sell you sampling skins for you to add your love and labor, then to return with buying customers lined up and come back with a higher price than you’ve already paid. It won’t happen with Rojé Leather.
This policy enables us provide excellent, transparent service to our customers for over a decade, including white label supply to popular fashion labels and designers. Consider us for your next project- you may contact us here.
I noticed you don’t have exactly what I’m looking for. Can you do a custom order?
Absolutely. Rojé offers custom colors and finishes for established businesses that have the funds to support the investment of time and money in the custom tanning processes required for our tanneries to produce the finished material. Each species has unique minimum order requirements. A custom color or finish starts at $500 and can cost upwards to $20,000, depending on species, season, and market prices.
For example, here are a few species, minimums, and lead/delivery time.
Our U.S. finishing tannery:
- Hornback and Belly Caiman // Minimum: 12 skins/per color // Lead time: 14-21 days.
- Front/Back cut Python with Natural markings // Minimum 8 skins/per color // Lead time: 14-21 days.

Can you provide me with your contract manufacturing partner’s information?
I am a creative person and I have a high value concept – how much will it feasibly cost to produce my styles and do business.
We receive requests from entrepreneurs on a daily basis with production ideas, requests, and demands. And while we respect and enjoy doing business with start-ups, the successful ones are easy to spot – they have developed a business plan and have secured funding of at least $10,000 per fashion season to cover costs of material, patterns, and labor. To survive the expenses of production, marketing, and advertising we typically see success with those who have a minimum of $50,000 to survive two seasons. We do not recommend getting started until you have the above financing in place.
Established brands are often the exception to the rule, since they carry the reputation and always have the financial planning in place to produce their designs in the upcoming season.
Do you provide paperwork or certificates for your skins?
I heard exotic leather species are only killed only for their skins, often skinned alive and discarded, is this true?
Why do you require so much information in order to sell your skins?
As our industry has some level of controversy, we are often called by “social engineers” who aim for us to disclose private information about our business, suppliers and customers. They want to collect this information for unethical purposes; to soliciting products and services or to disrupt business. We are selective of both our suppliers and buyers, and we only discuss business on either end with those we feel choose to do business ethically and honestly.
How do I know your quality, who do you sell to that I would know of?
Our portfolio does not disclose many customers because we respect and safeguard the information of everyone we do business with – and you can rest assured that any information provided to Rojé is held with the utmost confidence.
Rojé Quality Insurance
Rojé offers the opportunity to showcase the most unique materials in custom designs where high-end custom exotic goods are needed. Our thought is…in a homogeneous world why would anyone want look like the Jones’?
Rojé provides the most innovative designs and the highest quality exotic leather, best U.S.-based service in the Exotic leather industry, and the most competitive pricing for bulk wholesale animal hides. Our extensive array of exotic leathers will please the most refined leather lovers.
Rojé only deals in the highest quality animal skins available worldwide.
Most companies shipping exotic leather goods in the U.S. knowingly or unknowingly sell “Grade B” or lower products. This is noticeable in companies that deal in scraps instead of full hides, or animal skins that have scarring and blemishes.
All the work is done on our end so you don’t have to.
Since it is a natural product, consistency must be observed from the farms and the wild culling, and through the completion of the tanning process. We then implement our own rigorous standards once we receive the order before we ship anything to you. Buy from us and you can be sure that you’re only paying for and receiving the best available worldwide.
We recognize our customers only want the best, we only want to consistently offer you the best.
We have developed a network of the best farmers, tanneries, and exporters worldwide to only bring the best. We also recognize that most of our competitors have not developed their own strict standards. We are familiar with working with clients that have left their previous supplier unhappy. If you are in need of a new supplier, give us a call today – we are eager to gain your confidence by bringing you what you need as consistently as possible.
All Rojé products are imported into the United States prior to being sold in the United States.
Why is this important? Those who ship products directly from Asia never handle the products. Not only does shipping often take longer, they can offer little or nothing in the way of customer service — they also have no chance to check the quality of the leather good you ordered, which makes ordering harder and satisfaction less likely.
Rojé can and will inspect all exotic leather hides before shipment to you.
We uphold the highest level of personalized service for our customers from order to completion.
