Describe the job the bag must do
A crossbody bag for a phone and wallet, a tote for a laptop, a backpack for travel, and a structured handbag should not share the same comparison fields. Write the objects that must fit, carrying style, opening requirement, acceptable structure, and quantity/color mix before searching.
Measure the space a user can actually use
Keep width, height, depth, opening width, handle drop, strap range, base shape, and relevant interior dimensions. Note where each measurement is taken and whether the bag is empty, filled, or structured. A photo beside a hand or phone suggests scale but does not replace measurements.
Follow the bag from outside to inside
Shape
Front, side, back, base, corners, opening, and how the bag holds its form.
Carry
Handles, strap attachment, adjustment range, reinforcement, and removable pieces.
Access
Zippers, snaps, magnets, drawstrings, flaps, and usable opening.
Interior
Lining, pockets, seams, labels, dividers, capacity, and included accessories.
Keep material claims tied to visible and sample evidence
Record the stated outer, lining, trim, and hardware materials without upgrading them to verified facts. Request close-ups of grain, weave, coating, edges, stitching, hardware finish, zipper, and interior. When material affects the decision, define what a sample or responsible document should answer.
Compare hardware as a system
A clasp, zipper, buckle, ring, chain, or magnetic closure should be assessed with its attachment and intended load. Ask for operation views when practical. A clean logo close-up does not show whether the strap anchor, zipper path, or base construction fits the use case.
Ask how the bag reaches the carton
Structured bags may use stuffing, dust bags, protective wrap, individual boxes, nested packing, or folded components. These choices affect shape preservation, carton dimensions, gross weight, and unit cost. Record the packing version before requesting worldwide shipping.
Also ask whether straps, handles, charms, inserts, or detachable pouches are packed inside or separately. The answer helps explain carton volume and makes it easier to check whether every included piece appears in later QC evidence.
Make the color mix part of the quote
List every model and color quantity. Ask whether the MOQ is per model, per color, or total, and whether color differences change material, hardware, or price. Do not let a general “available colors” image stand in for a confirmed order mix.
