The idea from Dorit from Berlin:

Customized unisex satchel bag. Material: Other since I am flexible. Color: petrol, dark turquoise. Size: standard. Width: cm. Length: cm. Height: cm. I like bags with many different compartments, so I can sort my stuff away well and find it quickly. I don't really care about the material – it should be reasonably dimensionally stable, not so heavy and a bit weatherproof. It would be great if A4 documents could fit in it, but that's not absolutely necessary. In my current handbag I have a key ring sewn into the main compartment, to which my purse is attached with a chain. This or some other anti-theft device would be awesome.
The photo shows my current favorite handbag, which is washable, but unfortunately not weatherproof. It is about 32 cm wide, the bottom of the main pocket is about 14 cm deep, the other pockets are attached.

 

 

The customer’s rating:

The bag is handmade very well and virtually the big sister of my favorite handbag – just as I wanted. DinA4 documents fit inside and there are very many great side pockets where I can store everything well. How high-quality material and workmanship do in the long run, time will tell, but I'm quite confident.
