<\/a><\/p>\n I was contacted by a local Vancouver customer, Liam, who wanted a special carry-on luggage bag made for him. \u00a0He wanted to replace an aging travel bag that his father gave him, which had great sentimental value. He sent me some photos to see if it’s something I could make.<\/p>\n I wanted to take on this project because it meant so much to my customer and it challenged me to make something totally different from the bags I have in stock<\/span><\/a>. This bag required that I draft a brand new pattern, but Liam was patient enough to wait most of the summer for it.<\/p>\n The original bag was made out of a tanned coloured heavy canvas with cotton webbing straps. Liam chose the dark brown waxed canvas for the body and I updated his bag with bridle leather hand-held straps and a cowhide leather detachable strap.<\/p>\n Liam uses this bag for travel, so we wanted to make sure that it fit the maximum carry-on size requirement. This bag is the biggest I’ve made to date.<\/p>\n After I finished it, my son wanted me to make him one so he can put all his toys in it. Hmmmm…<\/p>\n Size: 20″ wide x 13.5″ tall x 7.5″ deep<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Liam waited a little over 2 months for this bag to be handmade for him. He was not only patient, but he was nice enough to model it for the blog.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
