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! (Automatic translation)” — Daryl Wanjiku Berlin, Germany (6. November 2023)

Stella Gikonyo (24. March 2023)

Good day Daryl,
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.

Daryl Wanjiku (24. March 2023)

Ues for the bag you can make it learther and wirh black white and pink with some cartoon drawings on it .

Good day Daryl,
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,
Gikonyo Stellar

I would like to go with the raspberry color from before . Kindly add like some material inside the bag so thats its not leather on the inside and just a few beeds on top of the bag to make it look cute .
