The idea from Tran Bao Tram from Berlin:
I would like a bag like this: https://www.urbanchangelab.com/custom-made-fabric-backpack-with-an-extra-compartment/
with some modifications:
– having a padded laptop compartment
– the front of the bag will have the shape of Africa and Benin (see the picture).
In case it is too complicated, then I am open to your suggestions for modification.
The price should be from 100 to 200 euros.
Thank you,
Tram

The story of the custom made backpack with the shape of Africa and Benin:
Negotiation phase
The Benin flag on the top right may be done via embroidery if I'm able to source a ready made Benin flag. The bag will be made from all leather but in two tones, the Africa pocket will be black and the main body will be a colour from the flag of Benin. What would you prefer
First, I am sorry for my late reply. And thank you for agreeing on working on my order.
The Benin flag on the top right may be done via embroidery if I'm able to source a ready made Benin flag > this is a good idea. Either a Benin flag on the top right or a Benin map on the African map (like in my picture). If it is the Benin map, the map can be in 3 colors (green, yellow, red).
The bag will be made from all leather but in two tones, the Africa pocket will be black and the main body will be a color from the flag of Benin. > "all from the leather" sounds good.
- The pocket should be black with the shape of African map. Can it be about 5 cm thick with the zipper to open it?
- About the main body: do you think its nicer if it is more colorful? I prefer anything that reminds me of Africa. For example, this color: https://www.urbanchangelab.com/custom-made-fabric-backpack-with-an-extra-compartment/. In case you cant open this link, I will send you the picture.
And also I hope that the bag will have a padded laptop compartment.
Again, I thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Tram

<<Either a Benin flag on the top right or a Benin map on the African map (like in my picture). If it is the Benin map, the map can be in 3 colors (green, yellow, red)>> I'm afraid the map will be too small to use three colours.
Yes, the bag will have a padded laptop compartment.
Yes, we can do a colourful fabric on the main body like the one in the link you sent.
The zip on the pocket can be 5cm thick but I think it will bulge out too much. Can we reduce it a bit?
Gabriel.
Thank you again 🙂

Can we reduce it a bit? > Ah, I mean: can the pocket (in front of the bag, black color, with the shape of African map) be 5 cm thick (not the zipper is 5cm thick)? The pocket can bulge out a bit (like 3D). I also attached a picture to visualize my idea (I hope it is understandable).

> I mean, I would like to have a 3D African map "attached" to the bag (African map pocket, black color, in leather, sewed in front of the bag)
I hope my description is clear enough for you 🙂 In case it is not, then feel free to ask 🙂
Thank you and best regards

I’ll be getting the fabric on Friday. Otherwise, I have all the information required to start the project
I hope the idea of the pocket is clear for you

If it is clear, then I am satisfied.
How is the fabric? Which color is it? If possible, can you let me see the fabric before making the bag?
I thank you again, Gabriel, for everything!
Tram
I've attached photos of the African fabric for you to choose and a photo of a travel wallet to show the colour of leather we intend to use.
