Bag terminology help?

[Dun]

I’m trying to figure out how to pattern this thing out. My wife saw it at H&M and liked the style. Even though it was cheaply made I should have gotten it to try and get a pattern out of it.

current problem is I have no idea if it has a name or what to call it’s features to find something like it in image searches.

 

that is a top view there at the bottom of the sketch. I simplified the sketch way down so it only looks like it has 3 pieces of leather but I’m sure it will need a very complex build. I also exaggerated the silhouette into pyramid to make it more clear and easily broken down in my head.

 

it has two zippered sections. These two pouches(?) are stitched together to form a cell phone pocket between the zippers.

 

Im thinking each "pouch" would be made like half a tote bag before being combined to the outer wall. I also need to figure out the best shoulder strap mounts. The original had handles but my wife only uses cross body.

 

any tips and suggestions would be welcome.

variation of a clutch purse ?

A thought; dunno if this would work out

1 piece for the outside, 4 triangular gussets - right angle shape, 2 inner pieces, 2 zips

Sew each inner piece to two of the gussets, along the long straight back, sewn in by about 10 mm. Sew two gussets and panel to the outside part after sewing zips along top edge of inner panel and outside, this x 2.  Fold the outside sides up to meet, where the triangular gussets meet, overlap and sew together; thats what the 10mm excess was left for - this forms a 10 mm pocket, wide enough for most phones

A tab and loop with a D fitting can be sewn to that gusset joint. A strap using lobster clips could be used.

It will need careful measuring; the base of your triangles x 2 plus approx 10mm or what ever you want the centre to be

that seems simpler than than what I was thinking. Still not sure which part attaching the d rings would be good as far as the flow of steps or structurally 

i was leaning towards these edge bands(I have no idea what it’s called)?

Yeah something. Clutch just isn’t specific enough for the image search

Love the design. You could attach one shoulder strap tab and d-Ring to the front and back, like the blue I added to your image.

That makes sense in its simplicity. As long as the bottom doesn't fold up from the weight of the stuff inside

Could reinforce the bottom with thin plastic cutting board. Cheap, some flex, and a surprising amount of support. I used in base of my 40cm travel duffel. 

And for RockyAussie....

I'll have to see what I can find that isn't too heavy. I'm already worried about how heavy this will already be
