It happens every day. A young entrepreneur wants to make some easy money to supplement her day job. What she could do is hop over to the Chinese megasite Alibaba.com and find an unpatented women’s toiletry bag manufactured by Shenzhen Xamyipsun Bags Co. in China.

Next, she’d send a private message, again through Alibaba, saying she prefers the bag to be purple instead of the pink pictured online, and maybe a metal zipper in lieu of the plastic one. She can even slap her own logo on it to personalize the design a bit more.
