Case Kingdom

Had trouble with this to when I first started. Basically you had the right formula. The way I find the price for my items is I find the price per inch, which is .11. I then add a .10 markup making it .21 per inch. My leather Tablet Bag uses 330 square inches, so I multiply .21 x 330 = 69.30. I charge 20.00 an hour, and it takes about three hours to make completely by hand including stitching. The price then becomes 130. The strap is $30 and the hardware adds up to $20 bringing the total price up to 180. Since I use lambskin lining I also have to find the price per inch of that and add my markup. With the lining added it comes out to around 215. I then add some overhead making the final price 230. Check out other items I have made at casekingdom.com.
