Custom order I love - the postman bag


Custom orders can be tricky if the client and designer aren't on the same page. I happily accept these orders if the design isn't altered beyond my brand recognition. And I'm always thrilled when an order comes together in the end.

I just finished this custom bag which I love. It is one-of-a kind with high end upholstery and seat belt detailing. I love its combination of floral fabric and modern hardware/materials.

At the customer's request, I added extra interior pockets which is an easy customizable thing to do. It has an adjustable strap that converts it from shoulder to body length (can be worn across the body like a messenger bag). I personally use this style when I travel. It's comfortable, roomy, and folds flat.

I've only made a few in this particular style but will be making more. I'm calling the style a postman bag (because of its pouch like opening) to differentiate it from the messenger bags.
