also remember your measurements should be noted as "Seam to Seam" and also what your "End to End" measurements as construction with leather needs some edge while in mostly everything else you can sew right in that edge.. so make sure your measurements are accurate and listed on every sketch or get ready for some pretty hardcore revision months in your calendar and have some financial capital for that or come up with a few good excuses that will push the maker to give you the samples for free.. the best one i find that always works.. is promise the maker that once we go into production, they will be the maker.. and they usually suck that up and give you free samples.. otherwise your samples are going to cost you a lot!!! a lot more that what you will sell it for that is for sure.. also your sample should maybe be developed using a cheap vinyl pp or pu or even poly material just to see your patterns.
however the sample may have to be made using leathers as the fall of the bag will be different using a different material..
oi.. doing all this on your own.. youuuuu craaaaaaaaaazy!!!!
