If you go to Alibaba and enter "perlon watch strap" you can find dozens and dozens of companies that will ship direct to the U.S. at unit costs of 50 cents to $1.50, minimum orders of 1, 50,.100, 500.
I suppose that you could say that Da Luca performs a curation function since they probably got samples from different Shenzhen manufacturers and chose the best, but I think Massdrop would have no problem getting samples to evaluate. And I think that whatever curation role that Da Luca is doing as far as color selection leaves a lot to be desired. As @nfischer says, the colors are "vibrant" and "not suitable for dress usage." That's putting it politely.

These are available in tasteful colors and the strands have two shades of the same color to give them some extra visual texture. I ordered a couple of them, one in forest and one in linen, which should arrive any day now.
