Tote Bag

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.

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

Fair enough. I'm just trying to be helpful here. 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.

Your daughter can fit in that bag! How much leather did it take to make that bag?

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.

I like it!  It's a lot bigger than I first thought.  Nice bag.

Awfully nice bag. She looks happy with it (and she’s awfully pretty, too).
