The growth in ladies handbags is driven by urban conglomerations across Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in  India  which  are  witnessing  changing  retail  landscape  and  bringing  brands  to  the  door  steps  of  the  consumers.  One  cannot  ignore  the  evidently  increasing  role  of  e-commerce,  which  is  enabling  further  reach to consumers across length and the breadth of the country.The  estimated  market  opportunity  in  ladies  handbag  based  on  the  consumer  survey  conducted  across  urban conglomerations is ~Rs 36 billion, with leading markets being 8 Tier 1 cities with market size of ~Rs 18 billion, followed by Tier 2 cities (41 cities) and Tier 3 cities (41 cities) cities at ~Rs 15 billion and ~Rs 3billion respectively.

The key success factors of this industry are design / style / fashion, Brand, Product Quality and pricing to name a few. However the industry attractiveness is also comes with the challenges such as lower product life cycles, influx of counterfeits and presence of large unorganized segment. The main categories in ladies handbag are leather and non-leather handbags. The presence of brands in leather handbags is limited as compared to higher brand concentration in terms of non- leather handbags. The leather handbag products typically have higher pricing as compared to non-leather goods, with limited consumer  base.  The  key  difference  as  observed  between  the  brands  from  leather  and  non- leather handbag brands is that the leather brands have a wider portfolio in terms of price point to cater to varied needs  of  the  consumers  in  contrast   to  brands  with  non-leather  products,  which  focus  on  narrow  pricing   based specific segments.

Scope of the project

The women handbags market in India is estimated at Rs 3600 crore. It is projected to grow at about 15 per cent annually in the next five years to Rs 6,000 crore. The key growth drivers are: increasing number of working women, their rising incomes, increasing fashion consciousness and aspiration levels, and growing influx of foreign brands. The Majority of the market (about 70 per cent) belongs to unbranded products, including local or regional brands. However, going forward the growth rate of the branded segment is estimated to be much higher (about 25 per cent) than the overall market.

Various coponents of the products are marked as per the pattern in leather and cut into different pieces. The edges of these /components are stained by hand to remove bulkness at seams. Then the components of lining are clicked. Once the leather has been tanned it is hand-rolled using a heavy rolling pin, which gives the leather a beautiful smoothness whilst maintaining it’s natural grain that helps give the leather it’s distinctive vintage feel.The leather is then ready to be hand-cut into each section of the bag using a variety of metal templates.

Raw materials / Consumables

The following are the main raw materials used in the production of handbags

Leather Backers
Lining Adhesives
Sewing Thread Zipper
Hardware Logo
Jute Bag Edge Paints

Polyurethane (PU) is a composite material made of one or more layers of PU and a woven or non woven textile backing such as bi-cast or ground leather. This fabric provides the most realistic imitation of leather when it comes to its soft supple hand. It is also known to wrinkle like leather when gathered, stitched, or tufted. Its light weight body makes it inherently more breathable than PVC and allows it to adjust to body temperature more quickly. Its naturally rubbery characteristic guarantees a better stretch and performance in low temperatures. Although PU fabrics are not naturally flame resistant, flame retardants may be added to the material during manufacturing. Ofcourse, PU fabrics are much lower in price than genuine leather; they tend to be higher in cost than PVC. PU is known to be a greener alternative to PVC in both production and after-care. It does not require the same chemical plasticizers and will eventually degrade over time.

Polyvinylchloride (PVC), also commonly referred to as vinyl, is essentially a flexible plastic made from PVC resin, various fillers, and additives such as plasticizers to manipulate its softness, color and texture. Once the desired fillers have been added, PVC is used to coat one side of a knit or woven fabric backing and sometimes a center layer of foam. This versatile fabric provides a durable surface that is impervious to moisture and inherently flame resistant, making it ideal for marine, healthcare and high traffic hospitality and commercial environments. Despite its flame-resistant qualities, the addition of flame retardants is typical during manufacturing to meet fire code standards. Although PVC resin is comparatively inexpensive to genuine leather, the price is often determined by the cost of the additives used to make the finished product. The environmental effects of PVC have continued to improve over the years, lowering emissions and hazardous waste. Today, vinyl manufacturers recycle PVC waste back into the process to minimize the amount of non-biodegradable product in landfills.

Plant & Machinery / Equipments

The following are the list of machineries used in the production process

 

Piping, Handle trimming, Hot glazing machines Stamping machine for Upper
