Hello! On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Eileen Duffy, and today I’m going to
talk to you about how to start your own handbag company. A big part of every season is going
out and sourcing your fabrics. When I first started, I used a lot of fabrics that are
actually traditionally used for dresses like the silk taffeta and velvets and silk organza.
Also a lot of other types of fabric that I did later on were used in a lot of upholstery
fabrics, so I use a lot of heavy thick beautiful upholstery fabrics, like vinyl—also leathers
and suede is absolute wonderful to trim. You can trim a bag in just about anything; you
can use beading, you can use suede.
