Bamin Handbags
Freelance brand consultant and sourcing agent for Bamin Handbags. Bamin (Build And Make It Now) makes unisex bags made with interchangeable zippered parts so you can easily transform them with Add-On parts into new styles anytime you want. As the owners do not have a traditional fashion design background, my responsibility is to guide them through the product design and development process and distribution.
Business functions include:
Product, packaging, and display development. Establishment of manufacturing relationships in Asia, USA, and Peru. Sourcing of materials and products globally, Costing, shipping & distribution, Pattern-making, Manufacturing & measurement specification, and Quality Control.
SOURCED FABRICS
Neomesh
Neomesh fabric combines neoprene and mesh, giving you both the sturdiness and malleability of neoprene, mixed with the woven texture of mesh. It comes from an Italian supplier with decades of experience making technical, yet luxury fabric for decades.
Matte Leather
Full grain American cow hide tanned in the mountains of Italy by craftsman who have been using the same techniques for generations. The tanning process favors traditional and vegetable dye over synthetic pigments, giving our leather a soft, yet durable finish, that preserves the natural characteristics of the skins. As you wear it, the color and surface will change—elegantly aging with you over time.
Technical Specs
Rendered an assortment of colorways for client's approval prior to sourcing materials
