This might sound a bit naive, but I’m genuinely curious.
I really enjoy the idea of making handbags, tote bags, or backpacks, mostly because it feels creative and fun to learn. At some point, I started wondering… if I actually get good at it, could this realistically turn into something people would buy from a small business?
I’m not trying to build a massive brand overnight. I just want to know if people still support small bag brands today, or if the market is too crowded with big names and cheap imports.
If you’ve bought bags from small businesses (or sold them yourself):
-
What made you trust or choose them?
-
Is quality and story enough, or is price everything now?
Just looking for honest opinions before I invest too much time and money.
