All my wishes were fulfilled and the result is even better than I had imagined! The communication with the craftswoman was very easy and it was always fun to be informed about the current development of the production process and to participate in the individual design steps.

A request by Jana from Heidelberg, Germany
I would like a larger handbag into which a 17 inch laptop fits. The material should be able to withstand rain and the bag should be zippered. I also want another small zippered inner pocket inside the pocket. I would like to have a nice African pattern on the outside, similar to the picture attached
