Many of the brands that contact us are still getting started. Some have a sketch, some have a mood board, and some have a bag they bought on holiday and want to make their own. They usually ask the same four questions: Can you make my design? What does a sample cost? What is the minimum order? How long will it take before I can sell the bags? If you plan to start a handbag brand with woven bags, this guide answers those questions with our real numbers, so you can build a budget and a timeline before you commit to a factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TruGrain Style is a family-run woven leather bag factory in Dongguan, China. Our family’s weaving craft goes back four generations, to bamboo baskets in the Qing dynasty, and we have been weaving leather bags for nearly 30 years. More than 230 weavers work with us today. The same team that handles repeat orders of thousands of bags for a Seoul-based fashion brand also accepts first orders from 50 pieces per style, per colour. Read more about us<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why woven bags suit a new handbag brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A new brand needs a product that customers remember. Handwoven leather bags help with that in three ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are harder to copy.<\/strong> A woven bag depends on the weaver’s hands: strip width, tension and pattern all affect how the bag looks and holds its shape. A design that took several sample rounds to get right is much harder to reproduce from a photo than a plain leather bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One shape can become a range.<\/strong> Change the weave pattern, the colour or the hardware, and the same base shape gives you several distinct products. That gives you more options when planning a small first collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is room to grow.<\/strong> Our approximate capacity is 7,000\u201310,000 bags a month. If your first style sells, you can scale up with the same team instead of looking for a new supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are comparing low-MOQ handbag manufacturers for small brands, check two things: whether the factory accepts small first orders, and whether it can keep up when your orders grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan your first collection: styles, colours and quantities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our minimum order is 50 pieces per style, per colour. Colours cannot be combined to reach the minimum: 30 black and 20 tan of the same style is not accepted, but 50 black and 50 tan is. Your first order can include several styles, as long as each style and colour meets the 50-piece minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three typical first collections look like this. These are examples, not packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
