CUTTING MATERIALS
The bag making process starts with cutting materials. All production materials will be confirmed before production bag parts are generally hand-cut into different pieces, every part for every size needs its own pattern pieces.
On this stage, material usage and wastage is the most important that need to be controlled, our workers are with decades of cutting experience, they have a good knowledge on how to cut the shoe uppers with the most usage and less waste besides material cutting, some hand-work like skive edges, gauge marking are finished here before moving to stitching department.
Technology like print, stamp or embroidery are made after cutting finished.
STITCHING BAG
Once the bag parts are cut, the stitching department takes over.
In the stitching department, the operations are divided into simple steps, leather pieces are stitched together. First the upper, then the lining. For some bags with strong and hard shape, we need to insert cardboard inside for overall shape.
In order to prevent the leather pieces off position during operation, Stitching workers usually attach one to one another at the edges with glue. First, the upper is stitched together, followed by the lining. After both upper and lining have been stitched together, the seams are neatened and loose thread are trimmed.
ATTACHING THE STRAPS AND DECORATE ELEMENTS
After stitching of bag body finished, then move to last step, attaching the strap and embellishments.
The straps of the handbag can be made of different materials like metal, leather or resin, it can be detachable or not, which depends on your bag construction. For example hand bags often with strap made by upper leather, evening bags often have metal chain straps. If the strap is made of a metal chain, the chain is usually attached to a metal ring. If the strap is made of leather, the manufacturer usually cuts two identical, long pieces, which are folded over one another and stitched together. The leather straps can be stitched to the sides of the handbag or they can be attached to metal rings. Handmade bags usually have very durable straps made of leather or a durable metal. The last part of the handmade handbag making process is to sewn all sorts of decorate elements, such as beads, clasps, etc into bag.
