toxo Posted June 29, 2024 Report Posted June 29, 2024 If I was gonna be picky I'd say make the handles a little bigger to go over the shoulder or add a shoulder strap cos when it's loaded it's gonna be heavy. But still a great job. Quote

But still a great job. Thanks but handles were made for that purpose, and to her specifications. Pictures are somewhat deceiving as to size. My daughter is just over 5’7” tall shown here with bag, she has been comfortable with length Quote

For a normal bag I'd agree with you. But my heavy duty shopping tote is around a foot or more wide when full and my handles are useless and I'm thankful for the shoulder strap. Quote

Doc Reaper Posted June 29, 2024 Report Posted June 29, 2024 Your daughter can fit in that bag! How much leather did it take to make that bag? Quote Doc Reaper

Final measurements on it were 15 1/4” height x 22 1/4 “ length x 6”;wide, support straps are under a yard each, handles are around 18” each, then interior pockets and exterior pocket. So a lot. I had alot of it as left overs. Hoping it lasts a lifetime, if not hers at least mine as it took some time to hand-stitch interior and exterior and finish bag. Quote
Members jrdunn Posted June 29, 2024 Members Report Posted June 29, 2024 I like it! It's a lot bigger than I first thought. Nice bag. Quote
Members Mablung Posted June 29, 2024 Members Report Posted June 29, 2024 Awfully nice bag. She looks happy with it (and she’s awfully pretty, too). Quote
