Catalog note: Album entries can change. Use the live album link and WhatsApp to confirm the current option before ordering.

The first bag inquiry should do more than ask “Do you have this?” A few extra details help the supplier check the right style, color, and option without a long back-and-forth.

Size

Ask whether the size can be confirmed. If the photo does not show scale clearly, say whether you are looking for a mini, small, medium, large, tote, or travel size.

Color

Send the preferred color. If alternatives are acceptable, name them early so close options can be checked.

Material and texture

If material or texture matters, mention it in the first message. Ask whether recent photos or detail shots can be checked before confirmation.

Hardware and strap

Hardware tone, chain style, handle type, strap length, and closure can change the whole feel of a bag. Ask about them early if they affect your decision.

Separate requirements from preferences

A requirement is something that would stop the purchase, such as a phone fitting inside or a removable strap. A preference is something you can change, such as choosing dark brown if black is unavailable. Marking that difference makes alternative suggestions more useful.
