The bag in this demo is an illustrative pebbled leather shoulder bag with gold hardware. Choose from four leather colours, then small, regular or large, and send the configured bag as a quote.
Three sizes of the same bag serve three different days. The small carries a phone and cards to dinner. The regular covers a working day. The large takes a tablet and a scarf. Buyers usually know which day they are shopping for, but they want to see the proportions against their own frame before spending money on leather.

What you can configure
Four of the six colours are on show: black, taupe, saddle and cream. Bordeaux and forest are in the wider range. The size choice is small, regular or large, and it appears in the summary. With one bag in three sizes, scale is everything, so a production build would show each size on the body and all three side by side. Here the image stays at one size.

Why a configurator suits handbags
A three-size range across six leathers is eighteen products. Few brands can photograph all of them on a model, so the regular size usually stands in for the rest. That is where size returns begin: buyers order the large expecting a modest step up and receive something closer to a tote. Showing the sizes together removes the guesswork.
Leather bags are a common gift, and gift buyers face a harder decision than people buying for themselves. They are guessing at someone else's taste in colour and size. A configurator that saves the choice to a link lets the buyer check with a friend, or send it as a hint. Exchanges also run more smoothly when the exact configuration is on record.
Pebbled leather and gold hardware need detail. The grain is what separates a well-made leather bag from a cheaper one at a glance. The piping along the rounded top edge shows the quality of the making. A close-up per colour, beside the main view, gives buyers the reassurance they would normally get by handling the bag in a shop.
How a production version would be built
Each size is a different object, so layering only helps with the hardware. I would photograph each colour at each size from a fixed camera, eighteen images, with a matched set of on-body shots per size in one colour for scale. A side-by-side image of the three sizes completes the set. Behind the images sit colour names, dimensions per size, leather and hardware codes, and stock per variant. Configurations can be saved and shared, and orders reach the basket as normal variants.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Size choices: 3
- Combinations to support: 6 × 3 = 18
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 54
- Images if sizes can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 27
- Data each of the 18 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about handbag configurators
How do you show three sizes of the same bag without confusing buyers?
Use one camera position for every size, so the bag grows in the frame as the buyer moves from small to large. Add a side-by-side image of all three and an on-body view per size. Dimensions and a short line on what fits under each size complete the picture.
Can the configurator explain that leather colour may vary between hides?
Yes. A short note under the colour choice can explain that natural leather varies slightly between hides and batches. It is better said plainly at the point of choice than discovered on delivery. For lighter colours like cream and taupe, a close-up of the grain makes the natural variation visible.
Can the configurator suggest a size based on what the buyer carries?
Yes. A short question, such as whether they carry a tablet or just a phone and cards, can point to small, regular or large. The suggestion explains its reasoning, and the buyer can still choose freely. For a three-size range, that guidance cuts the guesswork that leads to size exchanges.
What do you need from us to build a handbag configurator?
A list of products with colour names, sizes and codes, any photography you already have, and how you sell, whether through Shopify, WooCommerce or wholesale. If your photography is inconsistent, I can advise on a reshoot plan. I publish no fixed prices because scope varies, and I reply within two UK working days.
