👜 QC checklist for bags and backpacks
Last updated: 2026-10-23
Quick answer
For a bag or backpack, the critical points are the handles and their seams (they carry the weight), the zippers and no tears. Then check the hardware (buckles, rings), the lining, the shape and the size. Ask for photos of the inside and of where the handles join the body if they’re missing.
- 1
Right item and variant Critical
Compare the model, colour and variant with the listing and with what you ordered.
- 2
No stains, holes or tears Critical
Zoom in on every photo. Small stains show up best on light-coloured areas.
- 3
Handles and joints well sewn Critical
It’s the first thing to fail. Ask for a close-up of the joint.
- 4
Zippers complete Critical
No bent teeth or broken pulls.
- 5
Hardware free of scratches or rust Important
Buckles, rings and clasps.
- 6
Symmetrical shape and correct size Important
Compare the width and height with the listing.
- 7
Clean lining Minor
Ask for a photo of the inside.
- 8
Colour as expected Important
Warehouse lighting shifts tones a bit. If you’re unsure, ask for a daylight photo.
Mark every point to see the verdict.
