I’ve designed my own handbag. It’s not perfect in execution but I’m happy with all the ideas I have incorporated.
On one side it has a padded, zippered pocket that takes my iPad mini.
On the other side it has two large patch pockets, one of which is reserved for easy access to my mobile. It’s deep enough to make it difficult to fall out and wide enough to make it easy for me to reach right to the bottom to grab it.
I placed two magnetic snaps in line with the handles so that I have access to a pocket in the middle of the inside that holds my sunglasses, my reading glasses and my hairbrush.
I added some tapes at either side of the bag’s interior that have a lobster claw fittings on. One hooks onto the zip of my wallet, making it easier to lift out but also (I hope) harder for others might want remove it surreptitiously. The other hooks onto my keys so I can easily find them by hauling on the tab.
I’m happy with it for functionality but as usual I had issues sewing in a straight line for the topstitching while trying to avoid handles etc. Oh well, you can’t have everything.
It’s lovely! Don’t worry if your stitches waver a little around the handles. Tell people you did it on purpose to give it character! 😎
I love it! Great fabric too
Looks really well thought out… I’m thinking about a bag for my next trip overseas, that will be light and easy to carry, but flexible enough to fit in all those things that you need when you travel. Maybe I should think of designing something like this.
I think it’s the most useful bag I have ever seen and I love the fabric choice too.
Thanks. 🙂
I absolutely love it! All of your features are just perfect.
I love it I tried to leave a reply and I got a message that the server crashed – then it said I already made that comment. so I don’t know if you got it or not but the bottom line is that I just love the bag! Great features. Annette
Beautiful!!! And I LOVE all the special pockets and features! Bravo! 🙂
Even though I am ages behind I thought I’d reply anyway: love, love, love it! I think you could make your own handbag line as a side business!
Thanks Annette. I need to source better handles though.
