Summary
A skilled trade that manufactures fabric bags from canvas, cotton, etc., through the entire process from cutting to sewing and finishing.
Description
Fabric bag makers are a profession that produces bags using fabrics such as canvas, cotton, and linen. They place patterns on the fabric for cutting, then sew using industrial sewing machines or hand sewing. Afterward, they attach accessory parts like pockets, lining, handles, and fittings, and perform finishing such as pressing, waterproofing, and water-repellent processing. Finally, after quality inspection, the products are shipped. Mass production line machine processing is combined with small-lot handwork, requiring the achievement of both design appeal and durability.
Future Outlook
With rising eco-consciousness and sustainability trends, demand for fabric bags is stable or increasing. While automation improves efficiency, the skills of skilled artisans crafting high value-added handmade products or design-focused bags remain highly valued.
