✍️ Real Talk from the Sourcing Desk
A U.S. client recently told me:
“We need soft duffels, backpacks, wheeled & unwheeled bags. Our current factory’s pricing is sharp, quality’s great — but they can only produce in China. We need options outside.”

My reply?
Thank you 🙏 — and let’s unpack this.
✅ When your factory partner delivers, pricing is non-negotiable.
But here’s where opportunity lives 👉 I recommended we explore our Cambodia & Vietnam operations — not just for cost, but for flexibility, lead times, and tariff advantages too.

To quote accurately, I asked for:
1. Fabric specs (eco requirements, CA Prop 65, etc.)
2. Hardware test standards (salt spray, trolley, wheel tests)
3. Repeat order volume
4. Final inspection process (AQL 2.5 / third-party QC)
5. Payment terms

🚨 Context matters:
As of April 15, U.S. Customs tightened origin verifications for non-China goods — now requiring full production records, material traceability & energy reports. Vietnam alone has seen material costs rise 10–12%.

Bottom line:
Global sourcing is shifting fast.
Brands need agile, transparent partners who can navigate it smartly.
If you’re a luxury, fashion, or retail brand rethinking your sourcing for bags, handbags & SLGs — let’s talk.

Trusted. Cost-smart. Supply chain agile.
Your smarter bag partner is right here.
