fabric interlinings are layered around the
stays to give the bag a nice hand and
cushion. Ornaments, closures, and/or handles must be chosen to
complement the shape and fabrication. Linings differ with each type of
bag and each fabrication. The product development team, designer,
pattern-maker, sample-maker, production manager, and sales
managers, critique the samples. The most successful are chosen for the
