PPC30: Obrigada (Thank You) Brazil

How perfect these fabrics would look on my new design!

Here’s a good look at the Bag Front (at left above) and the Bag Back (at right above). The mish-mash of color just seems to work so perfectly with this design as well as with the black/gold zippers we chose to use!

So there’s TWO zippered compartments in the Tandem DayPack. There’s a generous puff pocket with an angled zippered lid. I can fit my full-sized wallet in here ALONG WITH my standard-sized eye glass case. there’s even room at the thinner bottom edge of this pouch for a lipstick and a key fob.

Since I’ve never been know for carrying large, “everything-but-the-kitchen-sink” type bags, so this minimalistic bag is right up my alley. It can be carried as a standard shoulder bag, but is especially effective carried cross-body style (which I favor)!

And now a couple of parting shots…
First at left: An overhead shot of the angled “lid” of the Zippered Pouch, AND the thinner, zippered pocket on the back area of this bag, which is perfect for storing your phone, a pen or two and other thinner items you might be carrying!
And at right: a full-frontal view of our new pattern, the Tandem DayPack

And finally… here’s some particulars about the Tandem DayPack!

• Size- 8.5″ X 6.5″ X 2.5″
• Projected Release Date- hopefully in mid-February (fingers crossed)

And now, it’s YOUR turn!

We are very close now to the finish line on this design, but my question to you is… does this bag seem like one you might enjoy carrying? And if you have comments you’d like to share, suggestions you’d like to make, or questions you’d like to ask about this design in general or this sample in specific, please feel free to leave either or both in the space provided below.
