PPC35: Plum Affinity

Purple floral patterned sling backpack with zippers

 

 

So...

in our last post, I let you know that I only had one more AeroSling sample to show you before all the exciting stuff starts to happen, and here is that last sample!

I REALLY love this fabric collection... as a matter of fact I used the blue variety of this collection in our last edition of "Purse Pattern Chronicles, the "Expand-o-Matic", which you can see HERE!

Purple floral sling backpack with diagonal zippers

This design is a versatile & comfy-to-carry style. It's soft & pliable with LOTS of room for virtually anything you might want to carry for everyday, as well as anywhere else in this world that you may travel!

Of course the primary feature f this new design is the totally unique, cord-locked bottle pouch area. It's large enough to safely & securely accommodate virtually any water bottle you might wish to carry for the day, but in an oh-so-beautiful way!

And here's a couple of shots of the two front interiors! The totally roomy main storage compartment is pictured above left, and the smaller area, (pictures at above right), accessed thru the shorter zippered pocket is perfect for smaller items you need to have quick access to, like your key fob, passport, or cosmetic items.

And here's a good look at the back side of this bag which features a totally secure, zippered pocket, large enough to house your cell phone!

PLUS--- we've also included the option to place a credit card caddy in this spot to avoid having to carry that bulky wallet, yet still have access to your driver's license & a credit card for spontaneous purchases!

The AeroSling can be worn in a few different ways, and as indicated by it's name, it can be worn as a one-armed sling bag either on the right or the left shoulder.

And I've never been a back bag fan, but I know that lots & lots of you are, so for your benefit, I've included a zipper in the strap so that all you have to do is unzip it to flip this bag into a back bag!

And here's a couple of parting shots knowing there's some really important decisions coming up... like choosing the cover model, finalizing the pattern cover, and developing a marketing plan.
