    I am based outside London in the UK. I would like to start my own handbag line and have got designs in my head. It all started after years of looking for a special kind of bags but I never found them. I would be happy for any kind of advice, especially on how to find the right contacts for manufacturing and helping with designs etc. I am also very interested in softwares so thinking about learning how to do the sketches myself. What program would you recommend? jenniej9@hotmail.com

    @Pezelle, Hello Pezelle, What is that you are needing help with? Manufacturing? Design? Lori G

  • Lori G beginner adviser said on December 18, 2012

    Hi @Jennie, Creating handbag designs can be a little tricky but there are certian kinds of software you can familiarize yourself with if you are thinking about learning to create creative designs. Some of the programs we use in our design office are Adobe Photoshop CS versions, Illustrator CS4, In-Design CS4 and dreamweaver CS4. Each one has it's own specialized usage so try and find someone who can help you understand the benefits of each. They are pricey and usually complicated but there are classes you can take that would help teach you what they need to know.

    Creating a handbag line is fun but try and speak to someone in the industry, handbag factories can also be a challenge because there are a lot of things you need to consider such as the manufacturing country, shipping and freight, sourcing your materials, marketing your product etc. Feel free to visit our blog at VOILAPedias.com for more information on starting your own handbag line, we also offer complementary consultations if you have any questions.  Although our company manufactures handbags for the retail stores, we have created The Entre' Division for start-ups that offers assistance to those who are beginning their venture and need help along the way. Best of Luck! Lori G

    @Lori Thanks very much for your advice. I've gone through your webpage and got a lot of good advice. I may get in touch with you later on when I've done some more "homework". Thank you
  • Dre said on January 8, 2013
    I have a clothing line and would like to add bags to the line also. I need to have ideas in my head because I don't draw. What do I do about getting the ideas out of my head into products? Atlanta, GA
  • Lori G beginner adviser said on January 9, 2013

    @Jennie, My pleasure! we offer complementary consultations if you are in need of direction, please feel free to call our toll free number, we will be happy to assist you. Lori G

  • Lori G beginner adviser said on January 9, 2013

    @Dre, Hi, to get started, you will need to talk to a designer about your vision so that they can help you with the inception phase of your idea, together you will identify and create that vision and eventually bring it to life.

    To start, try and find a designer that has an amazing portfolio, but remember designing is about connecting and identifying with your designer as if he/she was an extension of you, it is not enough to just like their work, you will need to connect and relate to your sketch artist in such a way so they can correctly interpret your vision. call us directly, we offer complementary design consultations and would be happy to help you. Hope this helps! All the Best, Lori G

I have an initial 4 designs I produced in 3D CAD. I live in Scotland and would love the bags to be made in Scotland but I can't find a Scottish factory! This would be a great start up partnership for a Scottish leather worker/seamstress. I'm sure all designers think their idea is a winner but mine is. I have researched and not found this idea or product anywhere, and I want to buy one! I will consider working with people outside the UK and any help is very welcome. janetnpatience@gmail.com
