The 30-Second Verdict
Bags, backpacks, luggage, umbrellas and rainwear occupy Floor 1 of District 2 (Sections F & G) in Yiwu International Trade City. If your business imports travel gear, school backpacks, handbags or rain products, this is the floor where the whole category sits — 8,000+ stalls in the district overall, with the bag and umbrella trade concentrated on the ground level. One morning here can cover a full travel-accessory catalog.
Why District 2 (Floor 1) for Bags & Umbrellas
- Whole category in one walk. Bags and luggage, backpacks, travel bags, umbrellas, rain ponchos and rainwear are all on Floor 1 — you won’t run between buildings to compare.
- Fast, hard comparison. The same backpack style is sold by dozens of stalls; prices typically differ by 10% or more between neighbors, so benchmarking is quick and effective.
- Mixed-carton culture. Bag and umbrella suppliers commonly mix designs and colors in one carton, which suits first-time importers building a range.
- Pairs with everything else. District 2 sits next to District 1, so many buyers combine toys (D1) with bags and umbrellas (D2) into one mixed container.
Floor by Floor: Where Everything Is
Floor 1 — bags & luggage, backpacks & travel bags, umbrellas, rain ponchos & rainwear. This is your floor.
Floor 2 — hardware, locks and small vehicle parts (handy if you also buy tools or bike accessories).
Floor 3 — kitchenware, small household appliances, telecom and phone accessories, clocks and watches.
Floor 4 — the manufacturer direct-sales center plus Hong Kong, Korea, Sichuan and Anhui pavilions — go here for factory-direct volume quotes.
Floor 5 — trade services: procurement, logistics, banking and documentation.
What You Can Buy Here — the Real List
Laptop and business backpacks, school backpacks, sports bags, duffel bags, trolley luggage in hard and soft shell, handbags and shoulder bags, wallets and card holders, tote bags, travel organizers and packing cubes; folding umbrellas, straight umbrellas, golf umbrellas, rain ponchos, rain jackets, rain suits and waterproof covers. If your store sells anything that carries or protects items in the rain, it is on Floor 1.
Prices & MOQ: What to Expect
Quotes are almost always per piece at carton volume. As rough benchmarks, simple polyester backpacks start around USD 1–3, basic school backpacks USD 2–5, folding umbrellas USD 1–3, and entry-level trolley cases USD 10–25 depending on size and material. MOQs are moderate: one carton is common, and mixed designs are usually accepted. Always confirm carton quantity, packed size and weight per carton — luggage and umbrellas are bulky, and freight often costs more than the goods.
Private Label & Custom Work
Logo printing and embroidery on backpacks and bags is standard at Floor 4 factories and larger Floor 1 stalls. Typical logo MOQs start in the hundreds to low thousands depending on the decoration method — embroidery needs more pieces than a simple print. For luggage, custom colors, custom wheels and custom hard-shell molding require bigger MOQs and longer lead times. Ask for a pre-production sample and approve it before mass production.
How to Shop Floor 1 in One Morning
- Enter District 2 from the F or G section side and start on Floor 1 with photos of your target bags.
- Compare at least three stalls per item and record the full booth code (e.g., “D2 · Gate 9 · 1F · Street 5 · Stall 23456”).
- Ask four questions: piece price, carton quantity, MOQ and packed dimensions.
- Test zippers, stitching and straps at every stall — quality varies hugely at similar prices.
- For umbrellas, open and close a sample and check the ribs and frame before ordering volume.
- For private label or volume, finish the morning on Floor 4 with the direct-sales factories.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Comparing prices without comparing specs. The same-looking backpack can differ in fabric weight, lining and zippers — get the spec sheet, not just the photo.
- Ignoring packed size for freight. Luggage ships nested where possible, but bulk always matters; confirm packed dimensions before quoting shipping.
- Buying cheap umbrellas without testing. Weak ribs and loose frames fail on first use. Test a sample through a full open-close cycle.
- Not checking fabric. “Waterproof” claims on rainwear vary; ask for the coating or PU rating and test it.
- Overlooking carton mix terms. Mixed cartons are common, but the mix ratio and minimum per design vary by stall — confirm in writing.
