This was also made for Julie, she wanted a bag that was hobo like in structure but extremely roomy.
For the lining I used vintage japanese textile and for the shell I used KnollTextiles in Rivington.
this project was 100% up-cycled. nothing new was bought to make it. ( 100% GREEN!)
the inner pocket is made from KnollTextiles Knoll Felt ( i had a scrap piece left over from another project)
I made the straps wider to add more comfort and also to give Julie versatility when wearing it ( on the shoulder or across the chest.
