    This thread is about the selection criteria for a leather goods workshop / production location.

    In my case I am keen to source a production site for messenger bags, weekenders and small travel goods from a workshop in Asia.

    I will bring veg tanned leather from Italy, Serafil thread and YKK Excella zippers, so in essence I need select a site based on design capability, available machinery and labor skills. I will be on site myself throughout the production cycle, but as a newbie, selecting a quality partner is tricky.

    Anyone with experience in this field?

    • A guide to visiting workshops?
    • What machinery ticks the box?
    • Kind of questions to ask?
    • A standard agreement form with details to tick off?

    Help is much appreciated.

    My first post, great to be here!

    Much is written already on top notch thread for hand sewing, my question is about machine sewing.

    I came across some beautiful messenger bags made with Italian veg tanned leather, such as:

    http://www.travelteq.com/All-Leather-Trash/Leather and http://www.barneys.com/boldrini-selleria-double-handle-briefcase-504088446.html

    What type of thread are these guys using, you'd say? Nylon, polyester, linen?
