The idea from Daryl Wanjiku from Berlin:
not so big
With my name on it "dee"
Can also hold a laptop
The customer's rating:
The backpack is really well made. I love it. It looks even nicer than the photos and than I had imagined. It's a unique material (nice, soft leather) and design. As a gift, I even found a cute little wallet in the backpack, also made of leather, to match the backpack, which I also really like. I was really happy about that. Thank you Stella for the great work!
The story of the Taylor made Unisex Backpack: Hot Pink/Black/White:
Negotiation phase
I trust this message finds you well.
Please clarify on the following :
Laptop size: Do we work with 13 inches as a medium size guide or are you okay sharing your laptop make so we can ensure your Laptop fits well in the padded compartment..
Leather Color: Please clarify if you need a hot-pink bag with sections of white and black. Would you have an image to demonstrate your idea?
Design: Please check the attachment for design and let us know if its okay with you & feel free to share your preferred design. Please don't mind the beads we will not add them.
Embellishment: Cartoon images on leather will be a challenge to add. The technology to create prints on leather is only available on mass production & is still not very dependable.
Ues for the bag you can make it learther and wirh black white and pink with some cartoon drawings on it .
My laptop is a Macbook pro
dont know how big that is
Your feedback is well received.
We will work with 14" to ensure your laptop fits well.
I will confirm on the cartoon print tomorrow Monday March 27,2023 and update you.
Kind regards,

Hallo Stella,
l love the raspberry color. When will you begin making the bag?
Thanks.
We are happy to get started in the new week.
Best Regards,
Gikonyo Stellar
We appreciate your patience.
I have adjusted the price to the best of our ability. The cartoon printing is the most expensive part.
In the meantime please check the NEW PINK LEATHER that i have attached and let me know if we can work with the pink instead of Rasberry Red.
The caroon image will also be more clear on pull up Leather.
I await your feedback.
Kind regards,

this is Vicky, the local operations manager. I received your bag and it looks both lovely and sturdy. I conducted a thorough quality assessment and shared some close-up photos of the bag. Stella also included a beautiful little pouch whose photos I have shared as well. Please look through them and let me know whether there are still more parts you would like to see and whether you are completely satisfied with the bag.

Vicky.
