Studio lighting for products

I am setting up a small studio for product photography. The camera is the Canon 650D with the kit lens.
The products are leather, with the largest being suitcase size.
The better the shots look, the better they will sell, so I don't want to skimp on lighting. At the same time, because it's a specific use, I only want to get what's necessary for the job. I've considered light boxes, but they have limitations.

I am new to DSLRs. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.
