The maker is the owner. Hahaha! This is the second backpack I made for myself. Here's the 1st backpack~

Wow that looks too good to sell. Did you not like the top handles or what?The corner work is very nice I must say. How is the job situation going in NYC?

Thank you.  The top D-ring installation on the rear side of backpack is too low, it makes the backpack leaned back when you put it on. A big mistake on pattern making  sometimes it happens. I'm still in Malaysia right now, will be there on early September...no idea how it goes actually. A new start from zero, quite challenging. Wish me luck! hahaha!

With your talent I think you should have little problem but some luck is is always a help. I do wish you well. Re the d rings could you put a bar across and right through the catch flap and reset the D's to there and turn the original bar into a small pocket? Just a thought, look up John Hardy at the green school in Bali. Ask him where to look there.

There is a lining (inner leather) in it so if I want to reset the D's, either sew through the lining or tear the outer and inner apart. Neither I want to, it still good to be used as  hand carry...hehe  Thanks for the advice. Hmmm..just have a quick search on google...that's handmade jewelry, different field, and it's kind of awkward to reach him as a stranger for such a question. I tried once month ago but no reply, Haha! Probably will looking for some leatherwork shops and see how things go.

Jewellery is mostly what he is known for but he has a far bigger range than that. Neiman Marcus and Saks are among his clients I believe. I,ve seen wrought iron and leather chairs and Croc watch bands and wristbands I've made and so on. He used to go to New York every year for some months at a time so I think he would know some people there.
