Handbag manufacturing industry is a prosperous and backbone industry in the coastal areas of China, especially in Fujian & Guangdong province. There are some typical manufacturing hubs for different kind of bags; each hub has their own strength and characters.

If you are willing to spend a few minutes reading this article, you will have a clear understanding of the distribution of China’s handbag manufacturing industry and the characteristics of different regions. This will save you a lot of time and money in your product developing & purchasing process.

Well, firstly, you have to ask yourself and make it out below question:

1. What kinds of lady handbag you want to buy

Classified by shape and structure, handbags or bags can be classed into backpack, shoulder bag (tote bag), hand bag, crossbody bag, waist bag (fanny pack), wallet, and coin purse.

It is easy to tell them from each other just by the shape or structure. They all can be called bags, but not all of them can be manufactured in one same factory.

Usually, a certain handbag factory can have abilities to produce backpack, shoulder bag, hand bag crossbody & fanny pack, but she hardly can make wallet or coin purse in the same workshop. Wallet & coin purse need different facilities and workmanship, wallet factory cannot make bigger bags like backpack, shoulder bag, hand bag, crossbody or waist bag.

More specifically, handbags in different materials are usually manufactured in different kinds of factories. Typically, genuine leather, synthetic leather (PU, PVC, etc) and fabric (nylon, canvas, 1680D, etc) bag factories are totally different.

Genuine leather bag factories can make PU bags, but their price is absolutely higher than you can imagine. The reason is genuine leather bag factories hold higher cost and margin range.

Fabric bag factories are neither good at making genuine leather nor synthetic leather bags at all. They don’t have special work procedure or skilled workers for panel pre-treatment process.

Synthetic leather bag factories can produce both genuine leather bags and fabric bags, but its workmanship is not as good as genuine leather factory through its price is much lower. PU bag factory can also make fabric bags, but the price will be a little higher than a special fabric bag factory. Workers in special fabric bag factory stitch faster and have higher productivity.

Another thing is, structured bags need more skill and more space to handle, so some small factories cannot operate structured bag orders though they may be good at making casual & soft bags.

OK, are you clear on differences of bags you are buying now?

Can they be made in one same factory or not?
