A new take on DIY purse handles
Starting with the basics and onto a concept
And while you can purchase similar purse handles today, one of our Batch partners-in-crime was like, “Let’s make the handles ourselves!” This allowed us to incorporate other fabrication techniques, while also opening-up a world of possibilities around material, color, design, and best of all, rapid prototyping.
Rapid prototyping leads to rapid iterations
Once we got an initial bag design down to try we stitched it up, added the handles, and was able to take it out on a test run. This helped us quickly learn what was working and what areas we wanted to explore further.
Some observations:
All-in-all it was pretty amazing that within the course of a week you can go from concept to finished product for a bag design and custom purse handles. After talking the learnings through we’re going to make a second iteration of the purse handles. Of course, inspiration has struck on another bag design, so that part may change up in the next iteration.
