Ordinary designer brand bags: Rely throughout on high-speed industrial sewing machines, CNC cutting machines, automatic edge-folding machines, and shaping presses. A set of equipment for standardized mass shipment, with few tools and strong versatility.

Shebag manual workshop (benchmarked against Hermès craftsmanship): The number of specialized niche manual tools is doubled, including leather carving knives, edge splitters, manual skiving knives, diamond/French irons, hand-sewing linen thread waxing tools, pure copper shaping molds, manual edge hammers…

The entire process relies heavily on hand-shaping, edge trimming, and bonding. Industrial sewing machines are only used for very few auxiliary parts, and the main sewing lines are all saddle-stitched by hand.

Hermès same-process handwork: Double-needle saddle stitching method, twill interlaced routing, every stitch is manually controlled for force and distance, the pulling tension of the leather is uniform, and the fit becomes higher the more it is used; the durability is several times that of machine sewing;

Moreover, thick leather, hard vegetable-tanned leather, and rare skins cannot be strongly pressed by machines, and can only be slowly trimmed, skived, and aligned by hand.

The positioning of Shebag high-end manual studio does not follow the low-price mass-production route, but completely benchmarks the craftsman mode of top luxury studios, giving up efficiency and volume, using a full set of manual tools + ancient hand-sewing techniques to replicate the process details of Hermès, which just happens to meet the needs of high-end customers for “texture, durability, detail smoothness, and vintage manual texture.” This is why for the same style, the manual version and the machine-made mass goods can be distinguished at a glance in terms of hand touch, bag body structure, and durability.
