set up her own website or sell on somewhere like e-bay. the other thing to do is take them to small designer shops and ask if they would be interested in stocking them as specials. obviously they will take a cut but it is always income
good luck

She can do her own market research by asking what her customers would like in the design of her hand bags and then offer to work on a commission basis.
That way, she can be making hand bags based on the designs she offers to each individual and grow her income by about 30% during her off time.
Otherwise, it's really a seasonal thing to make more during the shopping craze and less during the rest of the year, unless she can set up booths in specific craft shows throughout the year.
It requires a fee, but she can design her display to captivate people and make her money back plus profit at craft fairs. That way, she should also increase her business a little bit during the summer or spring.

Why not design her own website with photos of the bags and a shop on-line. I'd certainly be interested as would a lot of women.

hi,
Why don´t she export to France, Germany,..... And let she first find from " yellow page" on Internet who is buying this kind of product. Skip e-bay for that reason. And make you Trade Mark.
It will push you right up to the sky.
Good luck

why not place a listing on http://www.tradersreview.co.uk showing her bags no need to mess about with designing a website and the cost of it.

could she try offering them to smaller shops who can sell them on her behalf? she can sell them a few designs and see which does best.
