Luggage and Leather Goods: The EU market for wallets and purses

Demand for wallets and purses is expected to grow and there are many opportunities for developing country producers to be explored in the EU market. Opportunities can be found by keeping a close eye on the latest fashion trends. For example, for women many handbags now include sections for purses, although many women still prefer to have a separate purse. For men, demand for wallets is increasing, as many men choose to own more than one wallet.

This market survey covers the EU market and the markets in Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and The Netherlands for wallets and purses.
