Market & Opportunity
Market
• Women are turning away from traditional handbag brands and are seeking new,
unique handbag designers.
• The US market for handbags was $6B USD in 2005.
• The US handbag market is growing at +20% a year.
• Small-to-medium sized designers represent 75% of the handbag market.
• According to the WSJ, women are seeking unique handbags in the $400 - $700
price range.
Opportunity
• Small-to-medium sized handbag designers are resource constrained and are
seeking outsourced design, manufacturing and distribution services.
• Finding unique handbags is a challenge as it requires visiting multiple retail
stores to locate the perfect bag. Women are seeking a one-stop-shop for their
handbag needs.
• Currently there is no clear market leader in the handbag industry.
IBC Mission
IBC’s mission is to consolidate the highly fragmented
$6 billion a year (and growing at 20%) handbag industry.
IBC seeks to become the leading specialty retailer of women’s handbags through
its STATUS stores. Complementing its retail business is the IBC Design business
with the goal of becoming the leading provider of outsourced handbag design,
manufacturing and distribution services (including STATUS stores).
The handbag market today is composed of three highly fragmented, disconnected
and inefficient elements: design, manufacturing and distribution.
IBC | International Bag Corporation is pioneering a completely new retail business
model based on the creation of networks in order to leverage the outputs of the
three critical industry elements: design, manufacturing and distribution. Each
network is connected by IBC’s proprietary technology platform and thereby
creates efficiencies in the market. The efficiencies created by IBC yield greater
profits for IBC, its partners and its customers (including STATUS stores).
IBC’s goal is to acquire 500 IBC Design customers and open 100 retail stores by 2010.
IBC Competition
Currently there is no consolidator and no clear market leader
handbag industry.

IBC History
IBC has opened and operated three STATUS concept stores in the Saint
Louis, MO area and all of them were closed. One was in the Westfield
Chesterfield mall and two were in the Saint Louis Galleria. The first
store, a kiosk, was supposed to be a four day proof of concept. The
second store we used to test our ideas while we were developing our
brand and identity. We realized we missed the mark on this
store: location, concept and merchandising. The third store was a
tremendous success. We closed it for two reasons 1) a decision to move
operation and expand from LA and 2) a national tenant took our space .
We plan to open our flagship store in Santa Monica, CA in Q1/07. IBC
Design opened Q2/06.

Now this company with completely new retail
concept: IBC/International Bag Corporation
comes to China. They have three goals:
• find reliable manufacturer for ladies’
hang bags in different levels.
• Seek for co-partners/investors
• Seek for domestic retailer who has build
up a retail network in China
Advantages of investing IBC
If you are a handbag manufacturer, you will have
a opportunity to collaborate with excellent foreign
company in long term. After joining IBC, you will
obtain OEM orders from foreign high-class
handbag brands to increase profit of your factory.
Meanwhile, it is also a good chance to promote
your own brand/ products to overseas and explore
overseas market through IBC, a platform for you.
From the point of investing, there’s some risk to
invest this start-up company. But it has great
potential in this market, with a brilliant team after
this young company, who did a lots of serious
market research and test in a earlier stage to prove
the feasibility of their concept. This company will
grow to a leader in this market to bring high
return on your investment.
The new retail concept of IBC has a big
possibility in Chinese market as well. IBC is
eager to find steadfast retailers in China and
cooperate with them to take more market
share, being the market leader based on
established network.
