Own-brand D2C products sold through own site and Amazon
Leo sells premium leather goods through his own site and through Amazon. The same wallet earns different margins depending on the channel — direct sales keep more, but Amazon brings volume. His model forces a question every e-commerce founder faces: higher margin or higher volume?
