How to list Handbags on JADUZ

A strong handbag listing gives width, height and depth in inches and centimetres, the handle drop and strap length, and the weight. It names the outer material, the lining, the closure and the pockets, says what fits inside only if the maker checked, and calls leather real only when it is.

This page is for makers listing a handbag, tote, clutch or pouch on JADUZ, and for the AI assistant helping them. The general rules on names, honest claims and the reply format are on the main JADUZ listing guide. A bag is used every day, so buyers read the details: size, what fits, how it closes, and what it is really made of.

What to measure and how to state it

  • Width, height and depth: measure the bag empty and standing, for example "14 × 12 × 4 in (36 × 30 × 10 cm)". If it tapers, give the width at the top and at the base. Depth is the gusset, the side panel.
  • Handle drop: from the top of the handle, pulled up, to the opening of the bag, for example "handle drop 9 in (23 cm)". It tells the buyer whether the bag goes over the shoulder or is carried in the hand.
  • Strap: its length, the shortest and longest setting if it adjusts, and whether it comes off.
  • Weight: empty, in grams, for example "450 g".
  • What fits: an A4 file, a 13-inch laptop, a water bottle. Say so only after you have put that thing inside yourself.

Materials and techniques to name

Name the outer material exactly: jute, cotton canvas, nakshi kantha fabric, tant offcuts, cane, hogla, palm leaf or leather. With leather, say which (cowhide or goatskin) and the finish if you know it. If it is synthetic, write "PU" or "faux leather", never just "leather".

Then name the parts a buyer cannot see:

  • Lining: cotton, polyester or none.
  • Closure: zip, magnetic snap, button and loop, drawstring or open top.
  • Pockets: inside zip pocket, slip pocket, outside pocket.
  • Hardware: the rings, buckles and zips. You can say the bag is handmade without claiming that bought-in hardware is.

Name the technique: hand-woven, hand-stitched, kantha embroidery, block print, appliqué, braiding or hand painting.

Care

Spot-clean jute, embroidered and woven bags with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, unless you have washed one yourself and it came out well. Wipe leather with a dry cloth, keep it out of rain, and condition it now and then. Store bags stuffed with paper so they keep their shape. If a dyed jute or leather bag can mark light clothes when wet, say so.

Example names

  • Nakshi kantha embroidered tote with cotton lining, 15 × 13 in (38 × 33 cm)
  • Woven hogla clutch with magnetic snap
  • Jute shoulder bag with zip and inside pocket
  • Hand-stitched cowhide leather crossbody bag, adjustable strap
  • Block-printed cotton canvas tote, unlined, fits A4

Questions buyers ask

  • Will my laptop, A4 file or water bottle fit?
  • Does it close with a zip?
  • Is it lined, and are there inside pockets?
  • Is the strap adjustable or removable?
  • Is it real leather?
  • Can it be washed, and will the colour run?

Words to avoid

Leave out "genuine leather" unless it is, "vegan leather" without saying what it is made of, "unbreakable" or "carries any weight", "best quality", "luxury", "100% original" with nothing behind it, "only 1 left" unless your stock shows it, invented discounts, ALL CAPS and emojis. Do not use designer brand names to describe a style.

Good to know

How do I describe a bag that is not real leather?

Name the material: 'PU', 'faux leather' or 'synthetic leather'. Never write 'leather' on its own for a synthetic bag, and if you use 'vegan leather', say what it is made of in the same sentence. Buyers who want real leather, and buyers who avoid it, both need the truth.

What is handle drop, and why should I give it?

It is the distance from the top of the handle, pulled up, to the opening of the bag. A longer drop lets the bag go over the shoulder; a short one means it is carried in the hand. Buyers cannot judge this from a photo, so one number saves a lot of questions.

Can I say how much weight my bag can carry?

Only a load you have actually carried in it, for example 'used daily with a laptop and a water bottle'. Otherwise describe how it is built, such as double-stitched handles or a reinforced base, and let the buyer judge. Never write 'carries any weight'.

The zip and rings on my bag are bought in. Can I still call it handmade?

Yes, if you cut, stitched, wove or embroidered the bag yourself. Name the hardware plainly, for example 'metal zip and rings', and do not describe those parts as handmade. Buyers expect bought-in hardware; what they want to know is that the bag itself is your work.
