Finding a Manufacturer

[KingWing26]

Hello All,

It's been a while since I've posted but happy to be back at it!

I am working on a product design, I just had a 3D CAD Model created and I am in contact with one manufacturer to create a prototype, however, I am finding it difficult to locate more than one manufacturer for my prototype.

Does anyone have any recommendations on locating local manufacturers for prototypes or even have advice on how to convince a manufacturer to create one of your designs?

P.S. My product would need to be made from leather, it's a wallet-type product, and it seems manufacturers for these items are difficult to find within the U.S.

All the best,
KW
