Sample Bag

Here is a peek at the sample Commuter Carryall with the new fabric.  Click on the image for a  close up.  It has been a bumpy road, but the bag finally made it.  It was my first time making custom fabric, and I had a great time designing the pattern and choosing the colors.  I think the teal green paired with honeysuckle pink and yellow turned out nice.  I've added a few new features after listening to feedback from women:  adjustable and padded shoulder strap, and the fabric has a coating that makes the bag water repellant and stain resistant (biggest request).  So no more stains and worrying about your laptop getting wet.  

TGIF

Liking this outfit today.  It's casual and comfortable.  Perfect for that lunch date or shopping downtown.

Vacation

For those of you who don't know me, it's AeSoon here.  I'm packing my bags and going on vacation.  Looking forward to sunny California weather, although the rain seemed to finally have gone away here in Portland.  When I get back, I'll be planning for a photo shoot with the new custom fabrics.  If nothing else goes wrong, the samples should arrive in 2 weeks.  I'm praying there aren't more mishaps.
