Hello Naomi, I am happy to provide an offer for your idea. I have uploaded a photo of my previous work showing the kind of leather suitable for your bag. Looking forward to bring your idea to life. Thanks. Walter
Naomi 02 Nov 2018 3:58 pm
Hello Walter, thank you for responding to my request. However, i would like the same exact material used in the photo that i posted to beused. I don't think the material used in the sample you have shared is the same as the one I have posted. Thank you.
Walter Omundo 03 Nov 2018 4:29 pm
Hello Naomi, I have uploaded leather with prints, kindly have a look at it and advise. Thanks
Naomi 05 Nov 2018 8:55 am
Do you have leather that is of smooth texture and yet strong enough to hold?
Walter Omundo 07 Nov 2018 8:58 am
Hi Naomi, I've added some photos, kindly check and advise. Thanks
Naomi 07 Nov 2018 4:44 pm
Hello, we can work with the black material you've posted.
Walter Omundo 07 Nov 2018 6:44 pm
Hello Naomi, thanks for sample approval. I'll now begin to bring your idea to life.
Naomi 15 Nov 2018 6:57 pm
Okay.
Production phase
Walter Omundo 22 Nov 2018 5:28 pm
Hi, Naomi, thanks for the order confirmation. I'll proceed to purchase the right materials. Would you provide dimensions if you have so that after end of production you find a backpack that will suit the intended purpose. Thank you
Naomi 22 Nov 2018 6:19 pm
It should be big enough to fit an A4 size book and it should have enough storage space.
Walter Omundo 24 Nov 2018 4:09 pm
Hello Naomi, thanks for the details provided. I ll keep you posted soon on the progress.
Naomi 27 Nov 2018 6:23 am
Okay, thank you.

Hi Naomi, I have uploaded some photos showing the progress. Kindly have a look. Thank you
Naomi 03 Dec 2018 4:27 pm
Hello, this bag looks smaller than tbag i had posted above
Walter Omundo 04 Dec 2018 7:57 am
Hi, what dimensions were you expecting the bag to have coz I asked you the same question earlier.
Naomi 06 Dec 2018 2:21 pm
Hello, let it be a carry on size.
22" ×14" ×9" (Inches)(Lenght+Width+Height)

Hi Naomi, I did 13H by 6w by10, inches. The size you provided second time is too big and can cost more than the agreed price
Naomi 12 Dec 2018 9:43 am
It's not too big. That is standard size for a carry on bag. And it is what i had suggested when i posted the first image for the bag.
Walter Omundo 01 Jan 2019 5:36 pm
Hello Naomi, am sorry for late reply. Size 22"by 14"by 9"would go for ksh 20,000. I made you 13"h by 10"L by 6"wide coz you said the bag should be able to fit A4 size and enough storage space. According to my costing this is the correct size for the price I gave you. If you want to prove that the bag I made you matches the size of picture you posted kindly refer 'vegan leather small flap travel backpack.
Naomi 04 Jan 2019 6:31 pm
👍okay.You can finish up the bag you had started. Thank you.
Walter Omundo 14 Jan 2019 6:33 pm

Hi Naomi, the bag will be ready before the end of next week

Hi Naomi, I've added some photos of the work progress. I want to confirm that the bag is complete now waiting for the decorative brass on the flap and at the ends of the drawstrings closure.
