What is the minimum order for handbags made in Italy?
+
From 30 to 50 pieces per style, depending on the leather and the construction. The price per piece starts to drop from 200–300 pieces per style. Samples and prototypes are quoted separately, at about 2× and 3× the price per piece.
How much does it cost to manufacture a handbag in Italy?
+
At 30–50 pieces per style, shoulder bags and handbags start from €60 per piece (Entry), €80 (Mid), and €120 (Premium). Clutches and pochettes start from €15. Your final price depends on leather, construction, hardware, and quantities. Samples cost about 2× and prototypes about 3×.
What is a private label handbag manufacturer?
+
A private label handbag manufacturer makes bags that you sell under your own brand. With us, every bag is a custom model designed for your brand and made in Italy to your specifications, from a tech pack, a sketch, or a reference bag, from 30–50 pieces per style.
Can you make a handbag from my sketch?
+
Yes. Send a sketch, a tech pack, or a few references with your target price. We develop the pattern and the first prototype, which takes 2–6 weeks depending on the structure. You review it, and a second prototype takes 1–3 weeks.
How long does handbag production take?
+
A first prototype takes 2–6 weeks, depending on the structure. If the shape needs corrections, a second prototype takes 1–3 weeks. Production then takes 3–5 weeks for your approved style, from 30–50 pieces per style, followed by a quality check, shipping, and customs.
Which leather is best for handbags?
+
It depends on the shape. Calf leather keeps structured bags firm, nappa and soft tumbled leathers suit slouchy shoulder bags, and vegetable-tanned leather darkens with use. We also work with suede, reptile leathers with CITES documents, mushroom leather, and alternatives made from food waste, such as orange peel.
Can I order a single handbag prototype?
+
Yes. You can order a prototype on its own, without committing to production. It costs about 3× the price per piece, and it fixes the pattern, the structure, and the leather. If you then go ahead, production starts from 30–50 pieces per style.
Can you work from a reference handbag?
+
Yes. Send us a bag you like and tell us what to change: size, leather, hardware, or lining. We use it as a reference for shape and construction, then develop a new pattern and prototype for your bag, with your project manager at every step.
Do you produce purses, clutches, and evening bags?
+
Yes. We produce clutches, pochettes, and evening purses alongside shoulder bags and totes. At 30–50 pieces per style they start from €15 per piece, depending on leather, lining, and hardware. Maison Veni produced 63 clutches with us in its first run.
Do you sell white label handbags?
+
No, we don't sell a ready-made white label range. Every handbag we make is a custom model sold under your brand. You bring a tech pack, a sketch, or a reference bag, and we produce it in an Italian workshop, from 30–50 pieces per style.
