I am designing a line of handbags/purses.  I need to find someone to
make prototypes of the designs, as well as a supplier of handbag
fabrics/supplies for production of my designs.  I live in Elk River,
Minnesota which is near both Minneapolis and St. Paul. Can you help me
find a manufacturer around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area? Phone
number/addresses/contact person would be fantastic. THANK YOU!!

Hi dancerina,
I found some Handbag manufacturers in Minnesota that might
be able to help you:

Name: Anderson Leather Braiding
Location: Bemidji
Website: http://www.andersonleather.homestead.com/

Name: Oh Boyd! Enterprises
Location: Taylors Falls
Website: http://www.ohboydenterprises.com/Index.html

Please let me know if these Maunfacturers are too far away.

Thanks.

Yes, Bemidji is too far.  Taylors Falls is a possibility.  I'm
surprised in a huge city like Minneapolis or St. Paul that there are
no manufacturers.  I am looking for a manufacturer who could
specialize in sewing, not braiding like the Bemidji listing.  Does
that help?  Thanks!
