To find a suitable leather bag manufacturer, it is necessary to balance product quality, cost and the reliability of the manufacturer. Before starting your bag business, it is necessary to find a professional leather bag manufacturer. How to find a leather bag manufacturer and a professional factory? This article will introduce to you the methods of finding bag manufacturers and recommend the best partner.
A bag manufacturer is a company that designs, manufactures and produces bags (such as handbags, backpacks and wallets) for brands, retailers or direct selling companies. These manufacturers range from small artisan workshops to large factories and are capable of providing varying degrees of customization, materials and output according to customers’ demands.
Bag-making enterprises can be classified based on their production scale, degree of specialization and business model.
Small workshops or artisans: mainly handcrafted, with relatively small quantities, usually in small batches, that is, 1 to 100 pieces. Mainly produce luxury goods/custom bags, (for example, a custom leather studio in Italy)
For general factories: The minimum order quantity is 100 to 1,000 pieces, balancing quality and affordability. For instance, in the OEM bag manufacturer Gionar in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, they usually produce some mid-to-high-end leather bags.
Large-scale producers: with over 1,000 sets of production equipment and thousands or tens of thousands of workers, they can achieve automated production.
