Unlike leather garment and foot wear products, leather bags have no fixed specifications such as height, depth, and width and may therefore be easy to categorize as small bags, medium bags, and large bags. One could remember Galileo Galilei's quote: "*Measure what can be measured, and make measurable what cannot be measured*." From a quality management point of view, this means that "we cannot manage what we

cannot measure." In short, the clearer the specification, the better the possibility of creating and delivering quality products.

#### *3.3.3.3 Technology*

The manufacturing process is a key factor to leather products' quality. A different technology represents a different style of leather products. The quality of bags is as good as the people that make it. That is why the best stitchery, leather workers, and quality control technician or experts are required. In order to have best-quality products and workers, it is important to put a lot of resources into training or hiring the most qualified staff and paying them well fostering their commitment and creative minds.
