Her path into the industry
From Guizhou to Guangzhou
Originally from Guizhou, Yan came to Guangzhou to build a career in the leather-goods trade. In 2008, she began in a sales role at a market counter connected to a leather-goods factory operated by a Korean business owner.
The work placed her close to both buyer questions and factory execution. She learned that a request is never only a reference image: the material, sample revisions, construction, price, timing and final presentation all have to work together.
After the owner later returned to Korea, Yan chose to continue in the industry and establish a factory of her own. That path grew into Guangzhou Aarons Leather Co., Ltd., where the practical discipline of turning a buyer brief into a workable product still shapes the business today.

Review practical details
Check relevant material, construction and production terminology before publication.
-

Publish and update
Show publication and update dates, and correct material errors when new information becomes available.
Evidence & limitations
Our resources are intended to help buyers ask better questions and plan projects more clearly. They do not replace material testing, an approved sample, a written specification or order-specific confirmation.
Market conditions, prices, lead times, opening hours and compliance requirements can change. Readers should confirm current details before travelling, approving a sample or placing an order. We do not add claims solely for search visibility when they cannot be supported.
