How do you locate a wholesaler list for replica designer purses?
I know this isn't a good answer but I've had some luck finding websites that sell wholesale by searching Google or eBay.I'd suggest purchasing the list. You can purchase the list itself on E-bay or try your luck at buying the information from a street vendor who sells replica designer purses. You may have more luck if you convince the street vendor you are from out of town and not trying to take his or her business.

How do you find someone to draft a handbag pattern from a design concept?
I found a lot of pattern designers listed by doing a search for "custom pattern designer" in my search box. You could try that, or look in your local yellow pages for a custom designer. Another way is to look up "custom handbags" and find out who designed them. When I am asked to design a pattern or costume from a design concept, I generally charge between $100 - $200 an hour depending on how difficult it is, and what level of design they want (i.e. specific fabric match).
What is a north south handbag?
A "north south" handbag is taller than it is wide.
The term "north south" can be used to describe other portable containers besides handbags such as tote bags, messenger bags, and so on.
When the bag is held upright so that the opening and carrying strap (and logos as well) are in the correct orientation for use, the measurement of the bag's vertical dimension is greater than that of its horizontal dimension. This term may have originated from visual interpretation, since the bag is taller in the "north" and "south" directions. Thus, sometimes short and wide bags are given the description "east west."
If a handbag can be thought of in the same terms as a sheet of letter paper, "north south" bag would have a "portrait" orientation, and an "east west" bag would have a "landscape" orientation.
How do you come up with a name for a handbag business?
The same as for any other business. Use your name, your location or the type of business.
For example, I have a friend called Katie Gallagher, who makes her own bags. She has called her business "Katie Gallagher Handbags". Simple, but effective!
How do you remove ink from a white leather handbag?
Removing ink from leather is not a cleaning problem.
Most ink removal products will not work simply because of the length of time the ink has been on the leather. Ink is a dye and has re-coloured the leather (this is what it is meant to do)
The longer the ink has been on the leather the harder it is to remove because it soaks into the finish. Once it has soaked into the finish you have to use very strong products to remove it, which will also remove finish and pigment which then need replacing. If the ink is on a pigmented leather then the first thing you should try is an LTT Ink Stick. The fresher the ink the more chance you have of removing it. It is a good idea to have one in your house if you have pale leather and children!!!! Old ink will be harder to remove than new ink and may mean resorting to solvents which will also remove the finish. This is probably best left to the experts
If an ink stick doesn't work a solvent based remover will need to be used and it may also remove finish and pigment so is best left to the experts.
You should also be using LTT Leather Protect on your suite. This will act like a 'scotchgard' and will make any more mishaps easier to clean off.
You will see many people recommending household products to remove ink - this is not recommended as most simply will not work, some may appear to work but the damage they cause can make a much bigger problem which is then un-repairable (even by a technician) DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING: * Hairspray - This is very risky as it can make the matter far worse by spreading the ink over a bigger area and can sometimes then be impossible to fix. * Nail Varnish remover/solvents will remove the finish on the leather even if you cannot tell it is doing so and this will then need replacing, and alcohol may do the same depending on the strength of the finish on the leather. * Baby wipes - just about the worst thing you can use on a leather as they break down the finish and will eventually ruin it. * Milk or Toothpaste - these are just silly ideas that will leave sticky residues on the surface which will help to break down the finish on your leather. * Silicones/furniture polish - should not be used on leather. They will form a coating on the surface of the leather which will not allow any moisture to get to the leather itself and will eventually break all the finish down and cause it to crack. * Hide food will not remove ink and will leave residues on the leather which will attract dirt and oils. * Most leather cleaners will not remove ink unless a very good leather protector has been used on a regular basis. As aniline style leathers are largely absorbent it means that the ink will have soaked straight into the leather itself. This makes it impossible to remove. No product will successfully remove the ink. D Removing ink from leather is not a cleaning problem.

This makes it impossible to remove. No product will successfully remove the ink. DO NOT try ink removing products on aniline style leathers as most will leave a greasy residue which will then cause another problem. Because aniline style leathers are absorbent the ink will carry on moving through the leather and may become less obvious over time. Cleaning and protecting will also help to dissipate the ink.

How do you get a stain out a white leather purse?
To remove a stain from a white leather purse, gently blot the area with a soft, clean cloth to absorb any excess liquid. Use a mixture of mild soap and water to lightly dampen another cloth, then gently wipe the stained area in a circular motion. Avoid soaking the leather, and after cleaning, let it air dry away from direct sunlight. For tough stains, consider using a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather, following the manufacturer's instructions.

How do you sew magnetic snaps onto a purse or handbag?
There are a couple of different types of magnetic snaps but the most popular type is the prong type. One set comes with a female part (its magnetic with a dimple in the middle), a male part (non-magnetic and fits in the female part), and two washers to secure the parts in place.
The instructions really depend on where you decide to install this snap. In general, make sure that you only intend to have the magnetic side showing as the opposite side looks very unappealing. Most people install these into the lining of the bag so if you do, make sure to install these before you sew the lining on.
First, you need to determine where you want to install the snaps. To do this, align the washers on the fabric where you want your snap and place a mark on the back side of your fabric. These marks are where you will make slits so that the prongs of the snaps can fit in place.
Second, make slits on the marks you made. I suggest making the slits smaller than necessary because if you make them too large, your snaps will move around and will not be so secure. Also, many people apply different techniques to prevent ripping of the slits. (The tear is caused by the pulling apart of the strong magnetic snaps - the tear is usually at the bottom of the slit). Some people treat the slits as button holes and sew the slits that way. If you do this, make sure that sewing you do cannot be seen and is hidden behind the snap.
Other techniques include applying interfacing (I suggest the iron on). If you do this, I suggest ironing the interfacing on and then cutting the slits.
I've also used plastic canvas as support. I cut a piece of plastic canvas that is larger than the washer and stick the piece in between the fabric and washer.
As the previous author suggested, Fray Check could also be used. Just make sure that you don't end up gluing the wrong things together.
Third, install the female or male part by placing the piece on the good side of your fabric so that the prongs end up on the back side of the fabric. Then, place the washer over the prongs and fold the prongs toward the center. I suggest using pliers to fold the prongs over.
Make sure everything is nice and snug and repeat to install the second part.
---------------
At this point I add Fray Check so there won't be a chance of your fabric fraying once it's been cut. You can also add a heavy interfacing like Timtex to help the fabric withstand the pressure of opening and closing the purse. Now carefully slit the fabric where your marks are and insert the prongs through the slits and bend the prong inward one over the other. If you bend them outward the prongs go beyond the area of the snap and could put additional pressure on the fabric when it's used. These magnets are VERY strong so they *could* pull through a lightweight fabric. Repeat with the other side and you're done! Have fun!
**NOTE These snaps cannot be glued. They will not hold because the magnets are extremely strong. The method mentioned below is not recommended.
Another method
A home sewer might expect to have to glue the snaps onto the hand bag since there is usually not a strong pull on the snap itself. There are wonderful glues to be found at WalMart or your local fabric store. The directions will tell you if they will work with metals and fabrics. You could also go to an on-line store like Nancy Zieman, of "Sewing With Nancy. Her catalog is on line and if you call, they will help you as well. Happy sewing!
Where to buy discounts designer handbags?
I think the best way to buy cheap designer handbags are to buy from a reputed B2B website, as you will find a wide range of suppliers, exporters from around the world.
By choosing the right handbag, a woman has the power to add to the style of almost any ensemble of clothing. Some handbags are suitable for specific occasions, while others seem to fit in at any gathering. However, some handbag styles have endured through decades of changing fashions.
A woman who works in the world of business carries a briefcase for her important papers. But, she also needs a handbag for personal items such as her makeup, pocketbook, tissues, and cell phone. In many instances, a woman selects handbags that will complement her wardrobe of business suits. Some businesswomen will pair a fashionable pantsuit with a classic black leather handbag. Other women, whose work is done in an office, choose to match their handbag with their footwear. For example, a woman may search for a brown leather handbag to go with her favorite pair of brown sling backs. A subtle handbag with a classic design and plenty of compartments makes for a stylish choice when it comes to a woman's working wardrobe.
Some women believe that an outfit for evening is not complete until the perfect handbag makes its appearance. A woman can embellish the look of her flowing, white evening dress by simply carrying a white beaded handbag with intricate detailing. Alternatively, there are few fashion accessories more elegant than a classic black satin handbag that displays a silver or gold clasp. A woman can give a dress or pantsuit for evening its finishing touch of style by picking up the perfect handbag.
Handbags are very much a part of the casual fashion world as well. For instance, a small clutch purse made of leather easily complements a strapless sundress with sandals. Alternatively, a woman's sunglasses, pocketbook, and lip-gloss can accompany her to the beach in an attractive handbag made of brightly colored fabric. Furthermore, handbags for the beach can be found in fun patterns and designs. This casual handbag proves itself both practical and stylish.
No matter the occasion, having the right handbag can be the difference between wearing an outfit that blends in with the crowd and wearing one that gets a few extra glances of admiration.
