Many customers may ask: why does a leather goods manufacturer usually ask a much higher price for a sample than for batch goods?

       This is because samples cannot be produced in batches, while sampling making is something of individual customization. First, sample materials need to be purchased separately, but they are just used to make a handbag. This raises the procurement cost and causes material waste. Second, a sample needs to be made by a senior pattern maker at the design and R&D department, and this takes a long time; third, before sample making, the leather goods manufacturer’s designer first makes a rough sample to judge whether the handbag design is rational and feasible, and only then can the sample be made providing that there is nothing wrong with the design.

The sample is a customized handbag, which is made by the leather goods manufacturer in order to retain the customer to take orders from it rather than to make a profit. Knowing the above, do you still think the sample fee is too high?
