With these tips, you can ensure smooth communication with the bag designer:

Tip 1: Think carefully about what is important to you

Look at different bag models and collect all the pictures you like. Comment on each picture and tell it exactly what you like. If you only like one detail, write down exactly which detail you're referring to—this will make the next step much easier.

Tip 2: Decide and sort

Don't overwhelm the bag designer with too many images. Take a close look at your inspiration collection and create a "best of" folder. Store only the most important inspiration images there. Only for details you haven't yet decided on can you save multiple versions. But be careful: the principle "less is more" applies here, too. When consulting with the designer, you should have no more than three alternatives for each open point.

Tip 3: Clearly state what you don’t like

Just as important as inspiration is knowing when you don't want certain things. For example, if you know that you will never leather bag in your hand, but always have to have your hands free – say so!

These simple tips have one goal: the more prepared and precise you are in knowing what you want, the more precise the implementation of your leather bag With a little preparation and an experienced designer, you'll soon be holding your dream bag in your hands!
