A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Designing a Bag Collection
Research & Inspiration
Before any sketches can be made or materials selected, fashion designers must first identify the target market they aim to reach with their designs. And while this may seem like an easy task on the surface, it requires quite a bit of research to get it right. Specifically, designers need to consider who their audience is—both geographically and demographically—in order for their bags to be appealing to them.
Once the target market is identified, fashion designers will begin searching for inspiration from magazines, books, art galleries, and websites. They also take cues from current trends or look back to past trends. This helps them develop ideas for their bags' look and feel. The goal is to create something unique and timeless that will appeal to the customer base.
Sketching & Sampling
Once the research has been done, and inspiration has been gathered, designers can begin sketching out potential designs for their bags. This part of the creative process involves lots of brainstorming and experimentation with different shapes and sizes in order to find the ones that work best with certain fabrics or colors. Once they have settled on a design they are happy with, they will create samples on which future production runs can be based.
Production & Quality Control
After samples have been created and approved by both designers and manufacturers alike, production of the bags can begin in earnest. This stage involves selecting appropriate materials such as leather or canvas; selecting hardware like zippers or buckles; choosing embossed logos or prints, etc.—all of which need to be approved before proceeding with large-scale production runs of each item in the collection. Lastly comes quality control which is necessary for ensuring that all items produced meet high standards before being shipped off to customers worldwide! Creating a new bag collection requires creativity, skill, and attention to detail - but ultimately results in pieces that provide both form and function without compromising style! By understanding every step involved in bringing a bag collection from concept through completion - including sketching designs, selecting materials & fabrics, and testing & refining - you can get an inside look at how talented fashion designers bring their vision into reality!
