The questions that come to mind are: Since the bag is so small, what will it hold? Because the bag has such a soft closure, how do you keep it from inadvertently opening and exposing/spilling the contents? That strap looks pretty vulnerable too. How do you keep it from sliding down the arm? Or from coming open and falling off? Nice idea and great execution, but looks like a hard sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CastleLeatherWorks Report post Posted December 11, 2020 the work and design look nice so good job on that. it is very simple and clean. i don't see much use for it though. maybe it would work well for some small coins or air pods perhaps ? what was its purpose when you designed and made it. I seen some arm bands like this that held ipods several years back but they were aimed more at people working out i believe. ( the woman in the picture looks more like shes going to dinner than the gym) Maybe if you shed some light on the market you are targeting and your items use we could help with your question more.

GinBerlin Report post Posted December 13, 2020 @CastleLeatherWorks and @LatigoAmigo thanks a lot for your time and feedback! I really really appreciate. I plan to sell it mostly for festivals and raves It's more like a statement bag, don't have big usage apart from that But it's true that I realized it's hard to fit it for people who doesn't have accentuated upper arms For the pricing I am really hesitating, I made everything from top quality materials, stainless steel metal parts and so But after questioning some target audience, they don't know about quality differences in leather I made another prototype from Lefa Leather this week, looks the same but I l know that after a few times of usage it will be garbage...

For the pricing it is simple, you should calculate the following: Cutting Leather Coloring Tooling Glue Assembly Stitching Snaps Rivets Edge Sanding Edge Coating Burnishing Apply Cream Protection Lacker Final Touch Buffing Packaging and shipping Peace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
