Firstly, create a design that is uniquely yours. Do not use someone else's pattern for handbags that you plan to sell unless you have entered into an arrangement with them and plan to pay them royalties. Design a handbag that you personally like, that has a specific style and that you will feel comfortable talking about and selling. Then create a small initial stock of handbags. You have to make too many because early customer feedback may lead you to make changes to your design. Make enough so you can test the market through such events as an art and craft show.

Third take good, professional photos of your handbags. You will need photos for every handbag if you plan to sell online..

Next is price your items. This is a crucial and tricky step. Make sure that you cover all your direct and indirect costs as well as figure in compensation for your labor and a profit.
