A practical guide for brands and wholesalers preparing to order custom woven bags. It walks through the decisions to make before requesting a quotation, so the review and sampling stages move faster.
Start from an existing collection style when possible — it gives a known construction and finish to work from. A new development is better when you have a specific reference, sketch or construction in mind. Either path is supported; the difference is the number of details to confirm up front.
Confirm the approximate dimensions and silhouette you need. A reference measurement, an existing bag or a target use case is enough to start the discussion. Size affects construction and material usage, so it is best settled early.
Straw tones vary naturally, and a custom dye can be requested to match brand colours. Where colour matching is important, provide a reference so the finish can be reviewed at sample stage.
Handle style, material and drop length can be reviewed against the product construction. State whether you need a shoulder carry, crossbody strap or hand carry, and the preferred length.
Lining, closure and trim details are discussed according to the product type and construction. Confirm whether the bag is open-top or needs a closure, and whether an interior lining is required.
Branding options include a woven label, hangtag or embossed detail, depending on the product construction. Share your logo or branding direction so suitable options can be proposed.
Packaging requirements can be discussed according to product type, quantity and destination. Mention any retail or labelling needs when you request a quote.
A sample can be developed once the specification and requirements are reviewed. Timing and cost are confirmed after the project details are clear. Use the sample to check construction, colour and finish before confirming production.
Before production, confirm size, material, colour, quantity and branding details in writing. This reduces the chance of a mismatch between the sample and the final order.
Because each bag is hand-woven, small texture and colour variation is part of the finish. Agree on the acceptable finish and any inspection points during development so expectations are aligned.
Send your product reference or sketch, required size, material, colour, quantity, branding details and destination. This lets the project be reviewed accurately for a quotation.
