A4 Shoulderbag

a4-shoulderbag

"An unobtrusive & roomy everyday shoulderbag."


This is my most straightforward shoulderbag that will comfortably fit A4 papers, magazines or a smaller laptop (like a MacBook Air).

As it is a simple design it is easier to sew and therefore not as expensive as some of the smaller more complicated styles.

"I was emailing to say how happy I am with the quality and style of the bag! Even better than I expected! Thankyou so much!"

20th October 2011 - A4 Shoulderbag - Cuisenaire Blocks #2 (ASSORTED) - Jessica R




Seatbelt webbing
A 50mm wide seatbelt webbing strap is used on the bag which is quadruple sewn into main seam and is fully adjustable.

Outside pocket edge binding
The edge of the outside pocket is reinforced to greatly improve durability of this area. This thicker fabric also allows this edge to be used as a grab handle.

YKK zippers
Heavy #5 zippers are used for the front pocket and main compartment while a lighter #3 zipper is used for the inside pocket.

Flat base
This significantly increases capacity while also creating a much more comfortable profile for the bag.

Full width document pocket
This pocket is a great way to secure items such as magazines, books, ipods, headphones and such.

First internal pocket – mobile phone
A very handy pocket for a mobile phone (or pens, an ipod etc) is located just inside the main zipper. Will fit iPhone and other wider models.

Second internal pocket – zipper
Next to the mobile pocket is a recessed zipper pocket. This is great for passports, ipods and other bits and pieces.
