COUTURE




Couture handbags are uniquely designed. They come in two options: ready-made, one-of-a-kind banana-print leather bags available for purchase online through Ebay or custom banana design manufactured for the client from private label outsources.

A prototype design is developed in a tech pack to match both the brand's vision and the client's preferences. In the case of a custom-made handbag produced on demand, the client covers the expenses for services and goods throughout the entire process. These costs are documented in a contract deliverable, which provides a comprehensive overview of all the necessary items and tasks involved in manufacturing the handbag.
