Handbags (1x5)

Data di messa in onda: Ott 26, 2019

This programme explores the production of handbags. This industry has long been dominated by high end Italian designers, whose loyal customers will pay thousands for their perfect bag. Babita Sharma visits master handbag-maker Umberto Rinaudo in Italy, seeing the care that goes into making each bag - as well as how he and his designers are adapting their approach for the internet generation. But how much is the high-street market threatening traditional Italian techniques? Finn Aberdein travels to Yiwu, the largest wholesale market in China, and gets a lesson in how to spot the next big handbag high street trend.
