Highly decorative releases dominate output as visual appeal takes R&D priority.

TOP TRENDS

• Aesthetic enhancements: Makers are using different techniques to embellish promotional purse hangers. Inlaying Czech rhinestones is among the popular methods. Several companies cover flowers, pictures and other adornments with epoxy coating. Pieces with painted motifs are also offered.
  
• Decorative surface treatment: Patterns and logos may be applied directly on the products. Laser engraving or silk-screening are some of the techniques employed.
  
• Novelty contours: Suppliers are boosting output of atypical shapes in non- and folding configurations for increased differentiation. Flower, animal and cartoon character patterns are best-sellers. English alphabet, wallet and handbag designs are likewise available.
  
• Price forecast: A 10 percent increase is expected in the next six months amid persisting inflation in China. The appreciation of the yuan against the US dollar only makes matters worse. In addition, labor outlay continues to rise. It climbed 30 percent in the past year and has a significant impact on purse hanger manufacturers as the line requires a large workforce.
