Have you ever wondered what goes into creating the beautiful handbags from Belegra? Let's take a closer look at the intricate process that our design team follows to bring these stunning pieces to life.

From Design Idea to Pattern

The design idea is first translated into a pattern using pen and paper, where every detail is carefully considered.

Testing and Tweaking

Once the pattern is created, it goes through a series of tests and tweaks with the team. Each member provides valuable input on what makes the design work best, ensuring that every aspect is perfected before moving on to the next stage.
