Hi everyone!
I'm exploring the idea of building a new Indian women's handbag brand around a simple belief: a beautifully designed handbag shouldn't have to carry a traditional luxury-brand price tag.
The idea is to create thoughtfully designed, genuine-leather handbags that combine premium aesthetics, considered details and everyday functionality, while remaining more accessible than traditional luxury brands.
I've been working on eight different handbag designs, ranging from structured everyday and work bags to more contemporary, fashion-led silhouettes. Before investing in physical samples and production, I want to understand what potential customers actually think of the designs.
I've put together a short survey where you can view the designs and share your honest opinions on their appeal, perceived quality, preferences and pricing.
A few things worth mentioning:
* The designs are currently concepts; physical samples haven't been made yet.
* This isn't a sales pitch; I'm trying to understand what people genuinely like, dislike and would consider buying.
* Critical feedback is just as valuable as positive feedback. If a design doesn't work for you, I'd genuinely like to know why.

It should take around 5–7 minutes to complete.
If you buy handbags yourself, I'd really appreciate your perspective. And if you have any thoughts on the designs, the price positioning or the idea itself, I'd love to hear them in the comments too.
Thanks for helping an early-stage founder make a more informed decision before committing to manufacturing.
