A minimum order quantity is meaningful only when its basis is clear. For a collection of custom bags, the number of styles and colours can matter as much as the total number of pieces.
Understand the basis
Farhan’s stated handbag minimum is 100 bags per colour, per style. If a brief contains two styles and two colours for each, there are four style-and-colour combinations to discuss. Do not treat a total order quantity as though it applies to every combination.
Separate product minimums from material requirements
Leather, colour, lining, hardware and packaging can introduce their own purchasing or development requirements. The complete specification needs review before the manufacturer can confirm feasibility and a quotation.
Prepare a simple quantity table
List each style, each colour and the quantity for that combination. Add the intended delivery programme and any shared materials. This makes the conversation more productive than a single headline number.
Review categories separately
A handbag minimum should not automatically be applied to belts, wallets or cardholders. Provide a separate quantity plan for each category and ask the team to confirm the relevant requirements.
Confirm before committing
Agree the order mix, sample specification, timing and commercial terms with the team. The website’s stated minimum is a starting point for the discussion, not a final quotation for an unspecified product.
