How to Evaluate The Quality of A New Handbag Factory That You Just Reach out

Finding a good purse manufacturer or handbag manufacturer from China with good quality and competitive price is not so easy for fashion buyers and wholesalers, but there are several ways to help us judge the quality of a factory, it is not only used for handbags, but also for other products.

Location of the factory

Generally speaking, if you are a regular buyer of the Chinese market for handbags and purses. You can quickly locate where is the best place you can find a proper factory. For example, If you want to buy cheap canvas bags for a large amount, you can go to Yiwu, If you want to buy high-end handbags, men’s bags, and purses from china, you should choose Guangzhou. If you are looking for clutch manufacturers, I suggest you can go to Chaoshan, Guangdong.

IF the handbag factory passed any factory audits？

Ask if the bag factory has passed any factory audits. This method assists to comprehend the qualifications of the factory. Usually, a factory passed many factory audits and has many qualifications which mean they are not a small factory. The factory will cost a lot on passing a factory audit which shows they have strength. But as we all known, a coin has two sides. On one hand, A handbag manufacturer with an audit can have better control over its quality, on another hand, the price will be higher than other factories. If you are a big brand or supermarket, you can choose these kinds of factories. If you are a start-up, we suggest you can try other ways to find a proper factory. As usually, big handbag manufacturers don’t accept small MOQs and they have many large customers, they definitely will spend more energy and time on them and less on small business start-ups and small brands.

If the handbag factory worked with any famous brands?

When a factory salesman sends you the first email, Most of them will mention which brands or customers they have worked with. It really helps you to evaluate a factory from that. If they made products for many high brands or famous brands which means their quality is approved. For example, Wingirlbag has produced for Valentino, Milady, Ginger Mary, Blackcherry, Flaka, Focus, LILA’S, and UNISA. There are both luxury brands and also small brands. You can trust their quality and service all the time.

The best and most direct way is to visit the factory by yourself. However, due to the impact of the coronavirus, many customers cannot come to China to visit factories at the present. Then asking the factory to take a video of the factory workshop can also help buyers understand the general situation of the factory. You can learn from the video how factories make handbag samples, and see the whole bag production process. You can also directly have a video call with factories to have a quick response and meeting.

A handbag or purse production sample for evaluation

Even if the factory didn’t pass the audit, it doesn’t mean it is not a good factory and cannot meet your quality requirement. There is another way to help you to evaluate which is asking the factory to send one production sample from previous orders. This sample sometimes will represent their production quality. It just costs a little money to buy this sample, because it will be cheaper than making a new sample from scratch. In this way, you can get the product in hand for evaluation and better determine if the quality and price of the factory are appropriate for the brand.
