The Scholarship Satchel
The design combines a traditional satchel with modern twists, complimented by solid brass saddlery fittings including 8 solid brass feet.
The billets used throughout the bag are of my own design.
Internally the bag has a detachable torch that can be also carried on a belt, it has a keying that clips inside and two internal pockets for carrying stationary items and a small appliance such as a credit card machine.
The laptop pocket has a separate removable RFID laptop protector. The briefcase also has a further 2 pockets on the front of the bag and 1 full width back pocket – making it 7 layers thick in part to hand stich!
The ergonomic design of the shoulder pad was adapted from a design that I have seen used on both a rucksack and a modern sports bag, it allows the carrying load to be spread over a larger area and also makes it less likely to slip off the shoulder.
The Character Bag
Our customer saw the Steampunk Bag (below) and instantly knew that a green version would be ideal for her new LARPing character.

Working alongside Geoff the design quickly took on a life of its own!
