This versatile bag is handmade by Urban Stitcher® using Bactrian pattern by Ujamaa Grandmas Bagettes*. The clever design allows the bag to be used as a shoulder bag or backpack! The bag is stylish enough to go from commute to dinner.
The Urban Bactrian bag is 11" wide, 11-1/2" tall and 3" deep at the base. When the recessed zipper is closed, the interior cavity measures 10" wide by 8" tall.
The straps are 3/4" black cork. They slide through two black nickel D-rings to create shoulder bag straps with a 15" drop. Slide the straps back through the D-rings to criss-cross the top of the bag creating two 33" backpack straps. Although the straps are not removable, two black nickel swivel hooks add style while managing the straps. The strap length is generous but not adjustable.
The exterior is black and brown Portuguese cork. The brown cork has a rustic printed design. Two zippered exterior pockets measure 5-1/2" tall by 5" deep. A 12" zipper with tail, when fully open, allows easy access to the bag interior.
The bag is lined with copper Cordura 500D nylon. The interior has a slip pocket measuring 5-1/2" wide by 5" deep. An interior zippered pocket measures 6-1/2" wide by 4-1/2" deep. Both interior pockets are faced with the rustic brown cork. There is also a 7" cork key strap with a black nickel swivel hook.
The bag is stabilized with Pellon FlexFoam giving it a cushy feel and added padding for whatever you carry.
All zippers are black tape with black nickel color nylon coil and pulls.
Cork and Cordura are stain and water resistant. Your bag can be cleaned, inside and out, with mild soap and water.
Please contact me if you want additional information or pictures. The only surprise I want you to experience is how much prettier it is than in my photographs!
