THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING A BIRKIN HANDBAG
The process of manufacturing an original handbag takes a long time. Many things have to be taken into consideration. In this discourse, we are going to look at the making of a Birkin Handbag.
The process of producing a Birkin Handbag
At the Hermes Handbag manufacturing Company, it takes about 18 hours to get an original handbag out of the processing room. The work is done by many workers of the company who have specific duties to perform to get each handbag ready.
The actual process of making a Birkin handbag begins by the arrival of real animal skins which forms the bedrock material used in the process.
Once the skins arrive, they are spread out on the floor for screening. Goat skins are among the best used in the process. After the normal screening on the skins, they are measured and cut as required. The lining is done and the sowing begins.
After the lining process, the bottom of the yet to be handbag is sown to the front and back with linen threads that are waxed. Some stitches are constructed bearing a hole with necessarily adjustments.
The next is the preparation of the handle. This is done manually by stitching until the shape comes to the fore. Sand papers are used in smoothing the edges. In order to protect the handles from moisture, hot wax is applied.
The front flap is added with the required hardware that forms the entire body. At the end, the handbag is ironed to smooth all the parts.
Then finally, the logo of Hermes Company is firmly placed on the bag to show where it is coming from. Then the handbag emerges.
In all, the process is long, little wonder the high cost of the handbag.
