Hello Bettina
My name is Isabel and I would really like to make this bag for you.
I have attached a few photos of a bag I have made to help us realise your idea.
Kindly have a look let me know if this kind of design will work for you.
It has outer pocket for your phone,lipstick etc.
It also has the main bag which is lined with a colourful fabric to bring in the SUMMER feeling. Inside it also has several pockets the crossbody had has two straps one is handmade chain in brass which makes the bag versatile for a night out etc it also has a leather strap for everyday use.

Kindly share your ideas and see how we can make this bag uniquely yours.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards
Isabel

Bettina (17. May 2021)

Hello Isabel,

I have attached 2 photos. The bag should have about this size, I also like the portrait format.
From the color like something that fits in the summer, brown, or brown-black, or similar.

Many thanks and kind regards Bettina (Automatic translation)

Isabell Mathenge (18. May 2021)

Hi Bettina
I have checked the images and this is fine.
So for the colour we can just settle for black.
The design is also OK.
I am happy to start
Thanks
Isabel

Bettina (18. May 2021)

Many thanks

Hi Bettina
Hope you are well. Much greetings from Kenya.
Please find several photos attached.
Basically I have done a proto type of the bag you need. Kindly check through let me know if it is OK or where you think we need to make changes. Also attached is a catalogue of tge colourful fabrics you can choose one that you prefer on the inside.
The bag has an outer pocket for the phone, on the back side it has another zipper pocket for your car keys, money etc. Inside it has one compartment for more items.
Also am proposing to make the strap adjustable so the bag can be more versatile ie can be worn as a crossbody, as a waist bag and as a clutch bag.

Kindly share your thoughts so I can make the final bag.

Many thanks
Isabell
