It Must Be Sophisticated and Authentic

Chinese people don’t buy those traditional products which look cheap and they are certainly not going to spend few hundred bucks on this type of luxury item. So, it is not enough to have a rooster printed on a shirt or pillow case and expect people to buy just because of their love for their tradition.

Mr Bags in China

Actually, they wanted to display a rooster on the bag to increase their sales on the eve of New Year.

China is developing very quickly and Chinese people especially youngsters are embracing technology and modern lifestyle. Chinese girls don’t want to those traditional women who love to wear hectic and heavy clothes with an enormous hat. Companies have to distinguish between the domestic culture and public culture. The public culture in china is little bit Westernized. They don’t like to use too much embroidery while doing in the business meeting.

Some companies made a similar effort and launched a hand-netted bag with embroidered rooster. They thought that this product will get success because it is traditional looking and hit the sweet spot of Chinese but this bag is getting lots of negative comments. First of all, these bags are used in public places and people don’t want to be looked extra traditional while going to schools, offices, and other public places. They can sue this kind of stuff in close gatherings but to get the huge number of sales you have to make those luxury products which people can use comfortably in all places.
