Again, fix the prices, $34.32 looks really weird and is not what people are used to make it $34.95 or $34.99 there is a reason stores do it like that

Speaking of prices, don't know if you are targeting the super rich but for example 8848 brand bags cost 50$ on your store and you ship from china, where amazon sells them for $36.17

This!
You need to have something unique. A normal bag store? Nah, people will head over to amazon or something.

Most of the people have already commented stuff that I would've
Adding up to 1 more point,
I would suggest you to create different adsets for different age groups - 18-24, 24-30, 30-36 (somewhat like this)
and test out different ad types.
I wouldn't really go deep into it, rather, go to awwapp .com, make use of the whiteboard space (it really helps)
jot down all the points
Test out video ads if you've not yet already.
Try creating video ad like this maybe
Doing similar thing for a store of a friend of mine (Revealing the niche : Knives) and it's working way better than it normally does.
PS : Not affiliated to Jordan Welch, saw him in few FB Groups and the video seems to be on point.

I think your site is great. I'm doing something similar which I started a couple of months back. I test things out on social media e.g posts, to see which one creates more interests. So far, it's the reciprocity that's causing a response. I'm hoping this'll encourage a step closer to a conversion. Good luck

@Piziks, A couple of things...
Your Theme:
I know you think going with a paid theme was important. I also bought the Fastor theme and I'm gonna tell you right now it was a huge waste of money. The FREE Brooklyn theme is the best looking/converting theme I have found right now.
No Exit Intent Ads:
Check out the JustUno app and add a "Spin to Win" pop up on the users' exit intent. It's a fun way for them to get a discount and for you to make a last attempt at making a sale. If they complete it, you also have their email.
Product Images/Descriptions:
You're obviously importing straight from AliExpress with Oberlo or Dropified. You, like 1000s others, are doing it in the laziest way possible. You import and forget it. WRONG! After importing the products, you should download every photo and edit them to remove any watermarks from the AliExpress supplier. Then you want to go through and change the description because there's nothing more unappealing than the following.
Titles:
You didn't even change the bloody titles.... "8848 red dot big backpack"
Are you f*cking kidding me?
Reviews:
It's the fashion niche. Reviews are the MOST important driver of your sales. Download the Ryviu App on Shopify and import reviews from AliExpress. Then you edit the reviews to fix the grammar and make them appealing to your audience.
Everything else...
I really want to sit here and call out every little aspect of what you're doing wrong. The problem is that would take forever and definitely not something I'd want to waste time doing for free since there is little chance you'll follow any of this advice. The problem with you and most "dropshippers" out there is that you think it's quick and easy... just import products, advertise, and kaboom.... you're a millionaire.
I mean this in the most constructive way possible.... Take your head out of your ass and get to work.
I don't even want to think about what your email marketing campaigns look like, you know.... the ones meant to bring back abandoned carts. Oh, that's right, you probably don't even have that setup.
[END RANT]
Aside from all that, keep going

Hey and thanks for your great advice and speech!
I had problems with marketing mostly because from facebook i got around 10 clicks on ads with 2 - 3k views. It's a very bad pointer.
So i can not judge if the customer like's the site or nor. :/
This is a really hard niche and requires a lot of branding, but i've realized that luggage and bags from aliexpress is really hard to brand, because they have their god damn chinese brand names. :/

That's not the problem mate, your store is the problem. Until you fix your store, you will continue to waste money on ads. If I were you and I had some extra money, I would post in the HAF section and look for someone experienced to help you out.

I did leave some of brand names just because they were very visible to see and readable anyway.
I just can not see anything unique i could create with my products. :/
Do you think that i should narrow down my products and move on to some particular style or material may be?

It just needs a lot of work foundationally before you can focus on products and advertising. Read my post again and try to implement some of what I mentioned.

Yo how is it going so far? Manged to get at least 1 sale?
Your site is decent far from perfect but i saw worse sites that convert.
Some tips that I can give you
* Get the pricing right
- all of your items cost 57.18,23.15 etc etc..,) stick to the old formula 44.99 or 49.99
* No product description
- You have exposed some item specifics,but no description at all.
Of course that might be hard and time consuming,but this is your way to communicate with your customer,so you can build trust and also point out the highlights and why this item will be useful to your customer,also it might help ranking in google in long term.
* No brand feeling
- Probably the biggest of them all,no matter how good your design looks it is worthless if your products look bad. You need to make the customer feel that your brand is awesome and he can really trust you.Put some information about your business,make yourself look like you're deep in that business.
*Bad Targeting
- Even if you've done a great job with your store and posted outstanding products,you most likely wont make a dime if your targeting is bad.
Women aged 18-35? No way you're making a sale that way.
Go as deep as you can,just start researching and find your audience,going so broad won't bring you any ROI.
Just as a bonus tip,what I like to do with any of my websites is to create a promo video for my homepage.

Your site looks great on desktop but as most of the people here have mentioned, it isn't responsive. You should focus on how the site looks on Mobile for your IG and Facebook users. Also, if you're not already using Pixel (Facebook Tool), I'd suggest you to use that and target the ad audience on a granular level.
Additionally, you can also run a contest for your followers. It doesn't have to be a giveaway product, you can give them exclusive coupons or a free product on some minimum purchase. Like a free wallet with a backpack.
