Abstract
In this modern era, it seems impossible that there are still people who areunfamiliar with advanced technology.
Smooth production could be disrupted without the presence of tools / machines. So far the leather SMEs assume
that to create products with different designs gives good results. In fact superior products through produc
attributes without involving a brand image as an identity will be difficult to publish . This, of course, affects the
quality of the product. The research method uses descriptive, verificative through hypothesis testing, using SEM
modeling. Thesample was limited to 200 SMEs around Sidoarjo. The result shows that the bags are manufactured
by leather SMEs through the quality of the product is less known by customers outside of East Java. The Outlets
do not have brands that can be distinguished from competitors or from other areas especially without publication.
MEA's presence will have a positive impact on the quality of products rich in creativity, whereas the design of
artificial leather bagsfrom Sidoarjo are still superior compared to other imported products.
