Isabell Mathenge crafted a beautifully practical blue laptop bag for Margit, blending elegance with functional details for a traveler’s needs. What's your wish?
A request by Margit from Tattendorf, Österreich
I would like a laptop bag in landscape format for a 15.6″ laptop, blue, in a style similar to 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 an airplane. Dimensions approx. 40 cm length, 30 cm height, 12 cm width. The bottom should have metal feet.

Hi Margit!
Happy new Year.
I regret the 2nd bag did not turn out as it was supposed to be. I would like to remake the bag to the exact specification as you had ordered.
I realised the handles size and the interiors were not done well.
I would be happy if yoy can get a bag that you will love and use it when more satisfied.
Kindly advise.
Best regards

Hey Margit
I am having abit of a challenge with the leather.
I realised the colour is more black than either Navy blue or blue. Could you be open to use another colour like black?
Please let me know so I can see what to do.
