The idea from Desterius from Nairobi:

I want a man’s bag for carrying documents to the office or to meetings.

 

 

The customer’s rating:

Desterius 02 Apr 2022 9:53 am
It is what I wished for: quite suitable for carrying my documents and laptop.

Am impressed with the quality; the craftsman did a splendid job. I have already shown it to some friends and were quite impressed.

Dear Desterius

I am Grace from Kenya and I have a company that makes 100% leather and textile bags and accessories.

We are glad to work with you on the order for a document carrier. I have uploaded a few photos of our past products. However, if none of the above is fulfilling your desire we are happy to work with you on other suggestions. Kindly also suggest a desired color you’d like us to work with.

Desterius 12 Jan 2022 3:22 pm
I prefer this below from your attachments:
https://www.urbanchangelab.com/index.php?gf-download=2021%2F12%2FIMG-20211118-WA0110.jpg&form-id=14&field-id=42&hash=58bc399df0ad94fd38afc81989f8bbe40aa8f6485258daded3b9499e903b586e

However, besides the margins which are in brown leather, in what material is the rest of the bag: leather or canvas?

Grace Mbugua 12 Jan 2022 7:36 pm
The lest of the bag is canvas body and inside is poly cotton lining material
Desterius 25 Jan 2022 10:41 am
Thanks Grace for your response.

I will be satisfied with the type that I picked from your list above in the same color. I would now wish to know the cost of the bag and the timeline to have it delivered. Am a resident of Nairobi.

Regards,

Desterius.

Dear Desterius

Greetings!

We will do several improvement on the bag mainly using a metal zip which is more long lasting
We will use the green shade and tan leather finishing and improve on the backpack straps and leather finish on the front pocket

Looking forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
Grace
