WE GIVE YOU FULL INSIGHT.

PRICE TRANSPARENCY
TO BE ABLE TO OFFER YOU BAGS AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE, WE TRY TO KEEP OUR MARKUP AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN BUY OUR PRODUCTS MOSTLY IN OUR ONLINE SHOP. HOWEVER, WE DO ALSO SELL THROUGH OUR PARTNERS ALL OVER THE WORLD. TO COVER THEIR COSTS, THEY EXPECT SOME PRICE GUARANTEE FROM US; THEREFORE, THE MARKUP EXISTS. WHEN YOU BUY DIRECTLY FROM US, YOU HELP TO GROW AND DEVELOP OUR BRAND EVEN FASTER.
DESIGNED IN VIENNA & PRODUCED IN EUROPE
TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WORK AND LOVE IS PUT INTO THE CREATION OF EVERY BAG, WE WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW THEY ARE MADE - FROM THE VERY FIRST IDEA TO THE FINAL PRODUCT. EVERY STEP IS ESSENTIAL, AND WE ARE INVOLVED IN THE WHOLE PROCESS FROM BEGINNING TO END TO ENSURE A HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCT. WE TEST WEAR ALL OUR PRODUCTS REGULARLY, BUT YOUR FEEDBACK STAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR - IN THE END, WE DESIGN FOR YOU.
PHASE 1, RESEARCH & DESIGN PHASE
DURING THIS PHASE, JULIAS'S CREATIVE MIND IS HARD AT WORK. SHE MAINLY GETS HER INSPIRATION FROM MUSEUMS AND FROM HER EVERYDAY SURROUNDINGS. SHE ALSO TRAVELS TO LEATHER FAIRS TO FIND THE NEWEST MATERIALS. A LOT OF HER CREATIVE WORK HAPPENS THROUGH HAND SKETCHES (PSST! JULIA CAN DRAW REALLY WELL, SHE IS TALENTED AND GREAT AT BRINGING HER IDEAS TO PAPER). ANY NEW IDEAS ARE USUALLY DISCUSSED AMONG OUR TEAM, AND WE ALSO CONSIDER OUR BUYERS’ FEEDBACK IN OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
PHASE 2, MATERIAL SOURCING
NOW IT IS TIME TO CONTACT OUR SUPPLIERS AND START SOURCING ALL THE MATERIALS WE ARE LOOKING TO USE. THIS CAN SOMETIMES TAKE A WHILE IF WE DON’T FIND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR RIGHT AWAY.
PHASE 3, PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT
IDEAS COME TO LIFE AND JULIA’S SKETCHES ARE TURNED INTO FIRST PROTOTYPES, WE ALL GET EXCITED TO TEST WEAR THE NEW BAG FOR THE FIRST TIME - THIS IS OUR TEAMS FAVORITE PHASE. THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE A WHILE AS WE LIKE TO THINK THROUGH ANY CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE TO WORK OUT ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT COME OUR WAY.
PHASE 4, ORDERING MATERIAL AND PRODUCTION PLANNING
ONCE WE ARE SATISFIED WITH THE PROTOTYPE, THE CALCULATIONS START. WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY BAGS NEED TO BE ORDERED. IT IS QUITE A LOGISTICAL CHALLENGE TO MAKE SURE ALL MATERIALS ARRIVE FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO OUR MANUFACTURERS.
PHASE 5, PRODUCTION
NOW IT IS UP TO OUR BRILLIANT PRODUCTION PARTNERS IN PADOVA, ITALY TO BRING OUR DESIGNS TO LIFE. OUR BAGS ARE A REFLECTION OF TEAMWORK AND A MUTUAL PASSION FOR DETAIL.
PHASE 6, DELIVERY UND QUALITY CONTROL
QUALITY IS KEY; THAT’S WHY WE CHECK EVERY SINGLE BAG TO MAKE SURE IT MEETS OUR QUALITY STANDARDS. EACH BAG GETS A CARE LABEL AND IS PLACED IN ONE OF OUR JULIA SKERGETH DUST BAGS, WHERE IT WAITS FOR ITS NEW OWNER IN OUR STUDIO IN VIENNA.
PHASE 7, NOW IT’S YOUR TURN
ONCE YOU PICK YOUR BAG, WHICH CAN TAKE A WHILE CONSIDERING ALL THE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM, YOUR NEW FAVOURITE PIECE GETS PACKED IN OUR JULIA SKERGETH BOX AND SHIPPED TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU WANT TO SEE ALL OF THIS HAPPENING LIVE, YOU CAN VISIT US AT OUR STUDIO IN VIENNA, IN ORDER TO PICK UP YOUR BAG IN PERSON. IF YOU’RE LUCKY, OUR DESIGNER, JULIA MIGHT BE PRESENT IN THE STUDIO HERSELF AND GIVE YOU THE BEST STYLING TIPS.
TRANPARENT SOURCING
OUR MATERIALS ARE GATHERED FROM VARIOUS LOCATIONS, AND THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS THAT WE WANT TO OFFER YOU A PRODUCT OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. ONE OF THE WAYS WE ACHIEVE THAT IS BY STRATEGIC SOURCING. WE KNOW ALL OF OUR VENDORS PERSONALLY, AND WE LOVE TO VISIT THEM AT THEIR FACTORIES AND STUDIOS. THAT’S HOW WE CAN GUARANTEE WE ONLY USE THE BEST MATERIALS FOR OUR BAGS.
