The idea from Margit from Tattendorf:

I would like a laptop bag for a 15.6" laptop, blue, in a style similar to that of Isabell Wambui leather, mixed with patterned fabric. It should have 2 handles with approx. 28 cm to carry it on the shoulder. In the front 1 small zipper pocket for keys and mobile phone, in the back a trolley belt. Inside 2 compartments (1 narrower padded one for a laptop and 1 large one e.g. for an A4 folder). 1 inner zipped pocket, if possible 2 more pockets for pen and business cards. The bag should be completely zippable, so that no small parts can fall out, e.g. in the plane. Dimensions approx. 40 cm length, 30 cm height, 12 cm width. The bottom should have metal feet.

Hello Isabell, I would like the bag in blue leather with fabric applications. No buckles please, only zippers. The handles should be long enough to carry the bag on your shoulder. No shoulder strap. It should also look more elegant and feminine – more like a handbag, not a laptop bag.

Hi Margit
This is very fine. I have clearly understood what you want and am exited to start right away.
I am sure you will love the work!

Regards
Isabel

Hi Margit
I have started on the bag.

Hi, Isabelle,
Can you make the bag in landscape format please? Make the straps longer so that I can carry them on my shoulder. Please do not forget the straps for attaching to a trolley.
Isabell Mathenge 01 Aug 2020 12:01 pm
Hi Margit
I had constructed the bags as per the sample see attached photos. I was remaining to add the trolley straps.

If we change to landscape that would mean redesigning the bag and making a fresh new one.

Kindly review the one i have done let me know if I just add the trolley straps or we need to redesign the bag afresh.

Thanks
Isabel

Hello, Isabelle. I'm sorry there was a misunderstanding. Please make the bag new in landscape format.
If it means a heavy financial loss, I'm willing to take both bags.
Otherwise the bag is very nice!
Isabell Mathenge 06 Aug 2020 10:14 am
Hi Margit
Thanks for your response really appreciate.
Noted on the landscape what I will do i will sketch out a new bag for you that will fit your need. However you may need to do a new request on the platform so I can start on it.

Re the current bag I would be happy if you can take it as I did it specially for you and also it has costed me so much to make it. It will go a long way in supporting my work and to ensure I don't incur heavy losses.

Otherwise am very grateful for all your input.

Regards
Isabel
