Barracuda scissors is a joint project of two amateurs, connoisseurs and experts in grooming scissors. The reasons for creating a brand are prosaic - I wanted to offer domestic buyers a product that would cost less than brands registered in the USA and Europe, but would be of the same or superior quality. This turned out to be not very difficult, given that scissors are bought and made in the same place and at the same factories that make branded scissors known to the whole world. Country of origin - China. Yes, yes, China! I can assure you that at least 9 out of 10 scissors you have in your kit are made in China, despite the information from their dealers.
Interview with brand owners.
“When we first came to China for the exhibition, we saw a variety of scissors. groomer market, except for one - Roseline, yes they are made in Solingen and we were there too. I will explain again. Almost all scissors are made in China. Do you think it is profitable in Europe to maintain a workshop and metal processing specialists? Of course not, welcome to 2020 year.
So. The appearance of scissors and design is one thing, but what are expensive branded scissors made of? We were convinced that this was steel of the highest level. As it turned out not always, some of the famous European and American manufacturers, frankly save on steel. But we didn't do that at Barracuda, we sell scissors, not a name or a brand. Our scissors cannot be found in online stores, since the online store takes at least 50% commission for the sale. We simply will not have enough margin difference to buy scissors made of good steel, pay an online store and offer them to customers at a good price. There is an extra element in this chain, so Barracuda is a brand in which there will be no dealers and no wholesale. There will only be direct sales to end customers. It is very easy to create your own brand and, using your name, buy for $ 15, and sell for $ 100 through a promoted online store that will take $ 50 for itself. We have a different approach, we will buy high-quality scissors for $ 50, and offer directly for $ 80. Everything is fair. As always "(c) Sergey.
"I know exactly what our customers need. It's an adequate price and good steel. Both of these parameters are successfully combined in our Barracuda, and everything else is not important. It does not really matter who sells them, what color the case is and, despite the fact that 99% of our customers are female groomers, even the appearance is not so important.Tell the customer - here is a Barracuda for $ 70 and next *** ****** for $ 180, but there is no difference and the customer will choose what is cheaper. And there really is no difference! The plant is the same! " (c) Dmitry
