Is the more expensive a bag the better?

Before saying Yes or No, Let’s know thefactors that affect the price of bags .

1.Why the same quality products , the sales price is very different ?

As a professional leather factory , Gionarservice so many  brands and meet variety of customers too .  The quality of bags that these customers customize from us is thesame, but someone sell over 400USD ,and someone just can sell 100USD?

--- It depends on brand awareness . If brand A is well know at their market , they can sell the goods well and with very good price . If brand B is new brand or very small brand , the high sale price is not available .

2. Why the same design , the supplier provide price is so different ?

---  For the business , you must to believe that what got is what paid for . When you are looking for a factory to produce your design , you got some quotation from a few suppliers , someone quote you USD20,someone quote you USD30,someone quote you USD40 . These are regular .The different material, the different quality material ,the price is very different .

***IT MATTERS WHERE THE LEATHER COMESFROM

•When it comes to a leather bag, there is probably nothing more important than the attributes of the leather, which determine both its quality and origin. This is also that part where the scent of a bag may come into play, since premium leather often has a very distinctive scent. Leather comes in a wide range of grades, depending on a number of different factors, such as the overall condition of the animal and the cleanliness of the hide. The softest, supplest leather comes from the softest, supplest hides.

•The tanning process also weighs in, as the way skin is treated often determines how durable it will be. The processes that produce the best quality leather are generally the most time consuming and expensive. This is when origin plays a part. Some countries, for example, Italy, France, England and the US have an established track record of producing premium leather as a result of care and experience that goes into the tanning process. 

•Premium leather should always have a soft, supple, smooth feel that doesn't feel like rubber or plastic. Whilst even genuine leather may feel like vinyl or synthetic leather, premium leather should have a very distinctive look, feel or even scent.

***LINING IS THICK, HEAVY, DURABLE AND, OBVIOUSLY, BEAUTIFUL

•ANOTHER THING THAT IS HARD TO TELL FROM SNAPSHOTS ONLINE IS WHAT THE BAG LINING IS MADE OF.. ALL HIGH-END BAGS HAVE A LINING MADE FROM THICK AND DURABLE MATERIALS THAT LAST JUST AS LONG AS THE EXTERIOR MATERIALS. REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL CARRY ALL KINDS OF MATERIALS IN YOUR BAG OR PURSE AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE SUBJECTED TO ALL KINDS OF SPILLS AND POTENTIAL MISHAPS. ONE UNCAPPED PEN, BROKEN CAKE OF MAKEUP OR SPILLED BOTTLE OF PERFUME SHOULDN’T  RUIN THE INTERIOR OF A BAG. BEWARE OF FLIMSY OR LOW-QUALITY MATERIALS BEING USED ON THE INTERIOR OF A BAG. 

***HARDWARE IS ALWAYS OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER

•ANY HARDWARE, SUCH AS: BUCKLES, HANDLES, LOCKS, RINGS AND SHOULDER STRAP FITTINGS SHOULD ALL BE HEAVY, SINCE THEY ARE MADE OF PREMIUM DURABLE METALS LIKE BRASS, COPPER, BRONZE, SILVER NICKEL OR PLATED ZINC. THE FINISH ON THE HARDWARE MUST BE CLEAN AND PERFECTLY SMOOTH. WHEN CHEAP METAL MATERIALS ARE CAST, THE CASTING OFTEN LEAVES ROUGH AND RAISED EDGES BEHIND, WHICH IS A DEFINITE SIGN OF INFERIOR MATERIALS, WHICH NO RESPECTABLE DESIGNER WOULD USE AT ANY SCENARIO.

•WHAT YOU CAN ALSO DO IS TO CHECK WHETHER THE HARDWARE IS APPROPRIATE TO THE SIZE OF THE BAG. LARGER BAGS ARE CONSTRUCTED TO HOLD MORE ITEMS AND WITHSTAND MORE WEIGHT, WHICH WILL AUTOMATICALLY MAKE YOU LOOK FOR LARGER RINGS AND SHOULDER STRAP FITTINGS. SIMILARLY, SMALLER BAGS WILL HAVE SMALLER, FINER FITTINGS AND HARDWARE. 

•IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU MAY NEED TO KNOW? YES, SINCE YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HARDWARE HAS BEEN ATTACHED FIRMLY AND THAT ALL STRESS POINTS HAVE BEEN REINFORCED WITH EXTRA STITCHING. IF THERE ARE RIVETS, CHECK THE BACK SIDE OF THE RIVETS TO ENSURE THAT BACK-WASHERS HAVE BEEN USED TO ENSURE THE RIVETS DO NOT PULL RIGHT THROUGH THE MATERIAL. 

•LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, YOU ARE ADVISED TO CHECK THE TONGUE ON ANY BUCKLES TO ENSURE IT DOESN’T BEND EASILY AND YOU CAN TEST THEM BY TUGGING AND PULLING FIRMLY ON HARDWARE. IF IT’S TRULY A GENUINE PREMIUM BAG, IT WILL BE BUILT TO LAST AND TESTING WILL ENSURE THAT IT DOES. 

***ZIPPERS ARE YOUR GIVEAWAYS

•LEGITIMATE DESIGNERS UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT CRUCIAL ROLE A ZIPPER PLAYS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS, HENCE, THEY GENERALLY USE METAL ZIPPERS DUE TO THEIR GREATER DURABILITY. BRASS IS THE MOST COMMON METAL FOR ZIPPERS, YET THEY CAN SOMETIMES BE PLATED IN NICKEL OR COPPER TO MATCH THE DESIGN AESTHETIC OF THE BAG. THE SLIDER ON THE ZIPPER SHOULD ALSO BE MADE OF METAL AND, DEFINITELY, NOT PLASTIC.

•THE TEETH ON THE ZIPPER SHOULDN’T BE SHARP AND THEY SHOULD ALSO BE SET INTO A VERY THICK, HEAVY AND STURDY FABRIC. MANY ZIPPERS BREAK AS A RESULT OF TEETH PULLING AWAY FROM THE FABRIC, SO NOT ONLY SHOULD THE FABRIC BE THICK AND HEAVY, BUT ALSO THE STITCHING THAT HOLDS THE ZIPPER, SHOULD BE IN PLACE. WHAT IS MORE, STITCHING SHOULD BE STRAIGHT AND EVEN AS WELL AS THE ZIPPER MUST BE PROPERLY SET INTO THE BAG. MAKE SURE YOU ZIP AND UNZIP THE BAG A FEW TIMES TO ENSURE THE ZIPPER OPERATES SMOOTHLY. IF IT HITS, SNAGS OR DOESN'T ZIP SMOOTHLY, IT SHOULD BE A RED FLAG IMMEDIATELY. 

***STITCHING IS NEAT AND IMPECCABLE

•THE STITCHING ON THE BAG SHOULD BE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, WITH IMMACULATE, EVEN STITCHES; SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY LOOSE THREADS STICKING OUT OR ANY LUMPS, BUMPS OR SNAGS. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THE INTERIOR OF THE BAG TO ENSURE UNIFORM QUALITY THROUGHOUT. THE THREAD USED SHOULD ALSO BE HICK, HEAVY, DURABLE TO WILL HOLD THE BAG TOGETHER THROUGHOUT MANY YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. ALSO, CHECKING THAT THE INTERIOR STITCHING AND EXTERIOR STITCHING MATCH, IS CRUCIAL. IN LOW-QUALITY BAGS OR BACKPACKS, EXTERIOR STITCHING MIGHT HAVE A THICK, DURABLE THREAD, WHILST INTERIOR STITCHING WILL USE A THINNER, CHEAPER THREAD.

***EDGES ARE FINISHED TO PERFECTION

•ONE OF THE MOST TIME - CONSUMING TASKS IN THE LEATHER GOODS MAKING IS CLEAN-FINISHING THE SURFACES OF EDGES OF THE MATERIAL. THIS IS ALSO AN EASY TO SPOT GIVEAWAY OF A LOW QUALITY LEATHER BAG. IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN STRINGY EDGES ON THE SIDES OF A BAG HANDLE OR ANY LEATHER (OR LEATHER-LIKE) DETAILING, THIS IS A SIGN OF TWO THINGS: IT IS EITHER AN INFERIOR PRODUCT OR AN INFERIOR FINISHING. HIGH-END BAGS WILL GENERALLY HAVE HAND POLISHED AND PAINTED EDGES RATHER THAN UNKEMPT RAW SIDES. IT JUST ONE MORE OF MANY TINY DETAILS THAT THE HIGH-END LEATHER BAGS MANUFACTURERS PRIDE THEMSELVES ON.
