A request by Christina from Graz, Österreich

I would like a white leather handbag, it should be large enough to accommodate A4 documents but not much larger. I would like to have two handles that are of medium length since I usually carry the bag in the crook of my arm, but sometimes I also carry it over my shoulder. Inside I would like it once divided and with a small side compartment.

Hi Christina, thanks for the feedback. I have uploaded pictures of white leather, kindly have a look and advise.
Kind regards Walter

Christina (29. November 2022)

Dear Walter,

I've only received one Foto, should there be more?
Anyway, I like the leather that I saw on that Foto 🙂

Best regards (Automatische Übersetzung)

Walter Omundo (30. November 2022)

Hi Christina, sorry for the late reply. I've shared some photos.
Do you mean the black and white cowhide?
I have put the hide against black leather. The two blends well
Let me know what you think about this.
Kind regards Walter

Christina (1. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

I like the plain white leather and I'd like the Outside to be only in white because I also want to wear the handbag with an elegant white suit 🙂

Kind regards

Hello Christina, thank you for the feedback. Kindly advise on the lining colour as well. Can I use white cotton or cream white?

Christina (1. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

I prefere cream white for the interior lining.

As I'm not sure which informations you have received,
I'd like the handbag to have the approximate dimensions of lenght: 35 cm, height 25 cm and depth 12 cm

Kind regards

Hi Christina, thank you for the order. Am in the process of sourcing the materials. I'll share the images as soon as possible.
Warm regards Walter

Christina (8. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

I'm really looking forward to receiving the pictures.

Kind regards

Walter Omundo (11. December 2022)

That's great, I'll share photos with starting tomorrow. Warm regards Walter

Christina (11. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

I'm excited to have a peek at the process of creating my handbag.

Kind regards
Tina (Automatische Übersetzung)

Walter Omundo (14. December 2022)

Hi Christina, I've uploaded the photos of the white leather and cream white lining, the lining is a bit light so am visiting another store to check if I can get a better quality one.

Christina (14. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

many thanks for the pictures!
I really like the white leather, but as you mentioned, it would be better if the inner lining was a little darker in color.

Kind regards
Tina (Automatische Übersetzung)

Walter Omundo (17. December 2022)

Hi Christina, am still struggling to get the matching lining. I've uploaded a picture of matching African printed fabric. Kindly check and advise.
Warm regards Walter

Christina (17. December 2022)

Dear walter,

the african fabric is not really what I imagined for my handbag.
But if creame white lining is difficult to come by, light brown, light gray or a light shade of mauve would also do.

Kind regards
Tina (Automatische Übersetzung)

Walter Omundo (22. December 2022)

Hi Christina, finally I've got the cream white lining.
The light grey and light brown are not matching with the leather colour.
Therefore we'll use cream white for this. Warm regards Walter

Christina (22. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

thank you for taking so much trouble to get me the creamwhite lining.
I wish you a merry christmas!

Best wishes
Tina (Automatische Übersetzung)

Walter Omundo (23. December 2022)

Hi Christina, I've finished production. Kindly have a look.
I'll share better photos later today.
Merry Christmas to you.

Christina (23. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

I absolutely love my handbag,
many many thanks for the great effort you took to put my wishes into realty.

Kind regards
Tina (Automatische Übersetzung)

Walter Omundo (24. December 2022)

You are most welcome. It is a nice design of handbag. I hope you'll enjoy using it. Kindly refer your friends to urban change lab and bagmankenya.com
Thank you for the order.

Christina (24. December 2022)

Dear Walter,

I'm looking forward to receiving my bag and I'm sure I'll love to use it.
Of course I already recommended urban change lab to many of my friend.

Kind regards

Victoria Achieng (2. January 2023)

Hello Christina,
This a message from Vicky, Local Operations Manager. We did the quality check of your bag before shipping. The overall quality of the bag and the craftsmanship is as very good. There are two aspects I would like to point out before we ship to provide you the opportunity to decide if we should ship the bag to you or ask Walter to fix these aspects:
a) as you can see on the photos Walter put his logo (Bagman) on the bag. We generally recommend to the artisan adding logos only inside or consult the client before adding it outside.
b) white leather is generally not easy to handle so that it remains completely clean. As you can see on the photos there are some areas where it does no longer look perfectly white. We would assume that its possible to clean those areas and that the starting process to have some leather wrinkles is something unavoidable. We just want to make you aware that the bag in regards to that does not look like one fresh out of a luxury shop (which you could expect from us) though as said above the workmanship meets this standard.
Would you like us to send the bag back to Walter to work on both aspects?

Christina (3. January 2023)

Dear Vicky,

It is no problem that Walter's Logo is on the outside of the handbag but I'd prefer to have it cleaned to be sure that the stains are removable!

Kind regards
Tina (Automatische Übersetzung)

Walter Omundo (5. January 2023)

Happy New year Christina,
I have handed over the bag to the urban change lab. I hope it will be shipped as soon as possible.
Warm regards Walter

Christina (5. January 2023)

Hello,

I am a little unsure right now - were the unclean areas cleaned and was it possible to remove everything?
Was Walter so fast that he has already given the bag to Vicky a second time?

Kind regards
