This bag, made with Amy Butler designer fabrics from her Lotus collection, is made to order. The first two photos show a bag that has already shipped to a customer. I have more of this fabric in stock and will take about 1 week to make your bag.
Dimensions:
20"(51cm)long
12"(30.5cm)deep
12" (30.5cm)high
Pockets:
Zippered end pocket measures 12" wide by about 9" tall.
Pocket between the handles is 6" wide by about 8.5" tall.
I've been wondering for a while if I would ever make a bag so big that you could hide inside in case of emergency. Now I am glad I did.
One of these duffles was my family beach bag this Summer. Inside you will be able to carry a beach blanket(we use a queen size quilt,)5 beach towels, bathing suits for 5, and a cosmetic bag. The zippered outside pocket will hold sunscreen. The outside pouch pocket can hold cell phones or sunglasses. I take mine everywhere.
When I flew to Seattle the other day, I tried it out as my carry-on and it worked great. I think I was the best looking traveler in the airport. As far as carrying on an airplane though, you have to be aware not to load it to full capacity, so it will fit in the overhead bin. I had no problem at all.
The handles are made of jute webbing which is exteremly strong stuff that I also use in my upholstery work. I covered them partially with fabric to make them comfortable to hold, but left the edges showing because it looks great.
The fabric is quilted for added strength. Since this is made to order, I can certainly work with you to choose something you are excited about.
Everyone has a duffle bag, but not everyone has a gorgeous duffle bag. Practical, yet unique, this bag is totally you.
