The production cycle of customized bag samples is mainly affected by material selection, design complexity and production capacity.
The reference time is as follows:
1. Basic samples
Ordinary materials (such as canvas, regular leather)
2. Special material samples 7–15 days Rare leather, custom hardware or new environmentally friendly materials require additional procurement and testing.
3. Complex design samples 10–20 days Multi-layer structure, special-shaped cutting or precision accessories will increase the difficulty of pattern making and sewing.
Core factors affecting the speed of proofing
1. Difficulty in obtaining materials
Market spot materials: proofing can be started within 3 days ;
Materials that need to be customized (such as dyed rare leather, special coated cloth): wait 1–2 weeks .
2. Process precision requirements
Simple printing/embossing: add 1–3 days ;
Hand-made stitching/complex oil edges: extend 3–5 days . Customizing high-end hardware, add 7-10 days
Manufacturer collaboration efficiency
Mature factories: standardized processes, basic samples delivered within 7 days;
Small studios: limited by manpower and equipment, may take more than 10 days.
💡 3. Suggestions for shortening production time
Give priority to conventional materials: avoid customized raw materials to shorten the cycle;
Provide detailed design drafts: reduce communication and modification links;
Confirm the factory’s real-time production capacity: peak season may be extended to 2 weeks.
✦ Note: Some high-end custom brands (such as MOYNAT) are fully handmade, and proofing takes more than 1 month, but ordinary manufacturers rarely adopt this model.
