What to look for in a handbag manufacturer

When working with an overseas factory, it’s important you have a vendor who ensures accurate and reliable communications. That means emails, calls, and tech packs, are all always impeccable and consistent. It’s important you pad your sampling and manufacturing time. Things always go wrong when producing overseas, and mainly because you cannot control production when the factory is thousands of miles away. It’s important you build in extra time when you are doing production overseas. It’s also important you ask for LOTS of photos when doing production overseas. Often, it can help to go to the factory in order to oversea the sampling and production. If you cannot go, it’s a good idea to hire a third party inspector. These inspectors can provide an unbiased view of the factory and make sure that you get reliable and accurate information. It’s also equally important to get your goods insured coming into the USA.

One of the most important things you should consider is going to the factory overseas. While the travel costs are high, it’s important that you know what you’re getting into.

How much money do you need to start a new handbag line

This is a question many startup fashion brands are asking. Many accessory designers wonder how much money they will need to start a handbag line. This is a hard question without knowing how big they envision their handbag line will be, and what channels they will use to sell their products. All handbags are different due to the materials, approaches, and goals. It’s important you consider each variable as an additional cost in the bags cost. One of the biggest things which can alter the cost of your handbag is whether you make it domestically or internationally. For example, sample makers in the USA will charge $300 to make the sample and pattern. Some sample makers can charge $800-$1000 per style. If you decide you want to go to a tradeshow, then that also increases your costs. You shouldn’t let the cost of a new handbag line scare you. If you believe in your handbag line, you can make it a reality.
