I'm going to order the Uptown Traveler -- I'd like the colored fabric to be either a 'Prussian blue' or burgundy, your choice. Nothing too bright.

Is that doable?

For reference:
#003153 (Prussian Blue)
#800020 (Burgundy)

And my amateur photoshop:

That is doable, pie. It should be pretty easy to find either of those.

Your photoshop looks pretty good! I wish I could use that to advertise what they look like in different colors.

Wow, thanks, Pie! It just so happens that I got the fabric to make your bag today. I saw a number of blues that were close to Prussian blue, but it is a very specific shade, and I didn't want to get something that would look off. So, I went with burgundy. I found a nice shade and am working on the bag right now! I will post a picture when I am finished with it.

Pie · 12-22-2009, 02:43 PM

Wooo! :happydance:
Even though I know it will show up after the holidays, this is my Christmas present to myself.

kerosene · 12-22-2009, 02:51 PM

Aw! That is so cool. I will do my best to get it out quickly!

Pie · 12-22-2009, 03:10 PM

There's no hurry. Anticipation is sweet in and of itself! Enjoy your holidays!

Pie · 12-29-2009, 01:29 PM

Oooh -- I'm so excited! It's in the mail!

And you'll be an official bag lady, too. Cool.

classicman · 12-29-2009, 03:30 PM

Beautiful!

Tulip · 12-30-2009, 12:24 AM

How pretty! Pie, you should pose a pix with that bag for us when you get it.

Pie · 12-30-2009, 08:19 AM

Pics will be forthcoming, I promise.

kerosene · 12-30-2009, 08:58 AM

Sweet!

Pie · 01-22-2010, 07:54 PM

Well, I got my bag! It's beautiful. I took it when we went out for dinner tonight!

Actually, it came a lot sooner than this. I went through an iteration with Case, who very graciously agreed to make a modification for me -- I wanted the shoulder strap to be a little narrower.

Here are some pics. The second shows it holding my Eee PC (very convenient size!) and the third one has my cat to show scale. :p

Wonderful bag, and I love how 'personal' it is. Someone made this for me!

xoxoxoBruce · 01-23-2010, 01:52 AM

Yabut, how big is the cat?

It's beautiful... the bag, not the cat.

Nice! It is a beautiful bag.
