I'm designing my own line of bags. where can I get custom backpacks manufactured?

There are a number of fairs you can attend in Hong Kong where you can meet Chinese manufacturers. This includes the Canton Fair and Kenfair (google them). Also, you can try Ali Baba - not as bad as you think - or just find a company making similar but not competitive products and see if they do "private label" work.

Ali baba is good, also try panjiva.com.

Try alibaba. Com to outsource the work. Look for a company that does work close to what you would like and contact them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
