Classic design.
It often came from an accidental flash of inspiration.
On a British plane in his previous life.
The fifth generation of the Hermes family, Jean Dumas, met the famous British actress Jane Platinum and came up with the idea of creating a " Platinum Bag."
Platinum bag.
It was hand-sewn and made of the world's top 5% leather. It was soft and practical, casual and free, and had a strong modern fashion style.
Platinum bags were introduced in the 1980s and became popular all over the world. They were made of calfskin, saddle skin, sheepskin, crocodile skin, ostrich skin, and more than 90 leather versions.
Platinum bags had been popular for more than 30 years. Now, they had become a symbol of wealth, identity, and status for women. They were legendary bags.
But in this life…
The design of the platinum bag did not appear.
"If I remember correctly."
"Platinum bags are very complicated and are known as the devil of details.”
He composed himself.
Gu Bai recalled the design blueprint of the platinum bag.
At the same time.
With a ruler in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, he began to draw on the paper. As he drew, the outline of a rectangular handbag gradually appeared on the paper.
The flip design ensured the safety of the bag.
Two leather handles with a lock and a decorative key guard. The bottom of the package was designed with four protective nails.
There was a leather lining, an open patch pocket, and a zipper inner pocket.
The size of the bag.
It was the most popular 35cm version in his previous life. It was 35cm long, 18cm wide, and 25cm tall.
Gu Bai had drawn out every detail and every piece of leather in great detail.
"Hu…"
Everything was done in the wee hours of the morning.
Gu Bai picked up a can of soda water and took two gulps. The bubbles exploded in his throat as he stared at the design drawings on the table with a very satisfied expression.
No one would have thought of that.
The classic platinum bag design of this life actually came from such a simple staff dormitory, right?
"I have the blueprint."
"The next step is to choose the materials and make them.”
Gu Bai muttered.
From designing blueprints to making physical bags, to mass production, the process was not simple. The selection of materials was still easy, but the production stage was very difficult.
The production process of the platinum bag in her previous life was the Hermes family's biggest trade secret!
It had always been a mysterious existence.
It was already late.
Gu Bai decided to take a good rest first and think of a solution tomorrow.
……
Beep-beep-
The next day.
North River Fur Street was bustling with activity. A red Audi Q3 nimbly crossed the street and parked in the parking lot facing the street.
The car door opened.
A 1.75-meter tall boy with slender legs, fair skin, and well-defined facial features got out of the car. He instantly attracted a lot of attention and everyone looked at him.
It was as if an idol or celebrity had exploded on the street.
Gu Bai was already used to this.
"Little White."
Liu Wanru pulled out the car keys and faced the gazes of the people around her. Her cheeks were slightly hot and she felt a little embarrassed. Gu Bai's good looks were too good, and she was not used to it for a moment.
Wherever he went, people would surround him and become the focus of the girl's eyes.
She tugged at Gu Bai's hand and said,"Xiao Bai, Aunt Liu will take you to a few fur shops to take a look. You must look carefully before you make your move.”
"Aunt Liu, let's go."
Gu Bai smiled and nodded.
High-end luxury leather bags had high requirements for the material. The common ones on the market were calfskin, goat skin, crocodile skin, lizard skin, python skin, and so on.
For example, high-end luxury brands would usually have fur with exclusive craftsmanship.
For example, the Barenia leather from Hermes had a large amount of oil added during the double dyeing process of chromate and vegetable dye. It smelled creamy and sweet.
Furthermore, as he used it, the leather became smooth and soft, with a beeswax texture, revealing the veins and lines of natural leather.
LLVHH's most famous plated canvas, Grandma Xiang's (Chanel) caviar calfskin, and so on.
They were all high-quality leather.
Fur Street.
Most of the products were low-end artificial leather, also known as Pu. It was a material that was very similar to real leather, but its wear resistance was very poor. In addition, there was also microfiber skin, which was very similar to genuine leather.
He looked at a few genuine leather stores.
However, most of them were mid-tier goods. Upon closer inspection, there would be beef tendons, network marks, internal injuries, and color differences. Over time, cracking, peeling, and yin and yang colors were inevitable.
If it was used on a high-end brand, it would definitely ruin their reputation.
In the end.
He finally found a good batch of calfskin and sheepskin in a fur shop in the western region.
The first layer of calfskin.
The unit price was 70 yuan per foot. It was fine and sturdy, and the leather was excellent. It was used to make the outer layer of the leather bag, the handle, and so on.
Two layers of sheepskin.
The unit price was 12 yuan per foot. It was soft and skin-friendly, and was used to make the inner lining of leather bags.
"Little White."
Aunt Liu stared at the high price tag, her heart thumping. She whispered,""Are we really going to buy such expensive furs?”
In this Western Region fur shop.
Aunt Liu naturally knew.
The quality was impeccable and the reputation was good. Compared to the luxury brands of fur that she had dealt with before, the quality was better.
But the price was too beautiful.
The price of 70 yuan per foot was two to three times that of ordinary domestic calfskin.
"Don't worry, Aunt Liu."
Gu Bai comforted her.
Aunt Liu's thinking was also very normal. The domestic leather goods had always been in the middle and low end. There were very few manufacturers who dared to use real leather, let alone top-grade calfskin.
It wasn't that they didn't want to use sharp materials.
Instead, they used high-quality materials, causing the production cost to soar. However, the design and brand could not keep up, causing the Chinese to not buy it. They could only rot in the warehouse.
After a round of discussion.
The first layer of calfskin was 8000 feet, the second layer of sheepskin was 4000 feet, and the total payment was 608,000 yuan.
He didn't really know.
He was shocked.
Auntie Liu was shocked by the amount of money. She held the company's bank card tightly. She didn't want to let go, so she started to haggle with the boss.
Aunt Liu might be gentle and gentle, but she was like a goddess of war!
It overturned Gu Bai's understanding.
This woman cut off 15 points in one go and then erased a zero.
The final price was 510,000.
The boss was about to cry.
This transaction price was almost the bottom line in the boss's heart. If it wasn't for cash flow and long-term cooperation, he would never sell it at a cheap price.
……
The leather was done.
Gu Bai ordered another batch of custom-made hardware.
Five metals.
It was much simpler. Industrial products had transparent prices. You get what you pay for. If he handed the model to the factory, it would take half a day to produce the sample.
It was the same as leather.
Gu Bai ordered 1000 sets of hardware, all of which were of the highest specifications, and spent 100,000 yuan.
Including other purchases.
In just one day, he had spent more than 800,000 yuan. There were only a few hundred thousand yuan left in the company account.
"I've spent almost all the money."
"From tomorrow onwards, let's officially start manufacturing the first platinum bag. Otherwise, the company will have to close down.”
The co-driver's seat.
Gu Bai rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought. His black eyes glowed with a faint light.
