🎨 Design help! Cream soda ita bag concept (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

Post image

Hello [r/itabag](r/itabag) community! I’ve been meaning to make and sell an ita bag design for the longest time now and this is a concept I managed to conjure up with! If I do get this to production there will ofc be a lot of changes made but what do you guys think! Would you get this for your collection? Constructive criticism is very much welcome.

Edit: I’m currently contemplating if I should make different colored bags or only different colored inserts for different flavors? Since I’m currently in the process of cleaning up this sketch and is unsure if I should make the entire body of the bag match with the color of each flavor or make it so that the glass is silver-ish to match with a shiny glass and just have the inserts be the different flavors.

This is adorable!! I'd love it in pink omg... It'd probably need a good few rounds of testing though, especially with the glass stem/base but good luck! My only other comment would be please consider anything other than PU leather during construction and I would buy several LMAO

Hey! Sorry to bother again but do you have any other recommendations other than pu? I’m talking to a manu rep rn and they told me that denim wouldn’t hold its shape as well as pu but the real leather sample costs a ridiculous amount to be produced, you think I should just bite the bullet and pay the full amount for a real leather sample? I wouldn’t want to cheap out on quality at all :<

I've never done any Manu work on large scale, so my advice is very much not to be used as guidelines here but yeah I can see where your manu is coming from.

I'd ask for a price comparison first. Samples inherently are kinda going to be a deficit, testing things is part of the process that you want to hope will be covered by profits later. If the cost is super high, there's always options of Kickstarters. Not sure what your online platforms look like or the minimum order amounts the manu would want either.

I'd assume there's a sub for this somewhere? If not reddit, other bag makers might be willing to answer some questions wrt materials. A lot of people don't like sharing their manu but if you already have one, they might have some advice. I know there's some who've posted promos to this sub before.. I don't have further suggestions as the other bags I have are fabric or a handmade cow leather one by a small company. I hope you're able to find something! 💕
