Aida

A new design that I managed to complete last week. This bag was inspired while on a trip back to K.L. Managed to spend some quality time with Kak Noy and family, Jam and Aida.
Driving back to Penang, I was thinking to name this bag Aida, to remind me of the wonderful time I had.

The red canvas that I used here,...have that linen look, hence it gives a casual smart appearance.
The closure is a twist lock on dark brown leather trimming. The patterns of this bag is the same as Fav,..but here,.. I sew in piping in the seam. The piping gives a more defined a structured body.

I like the idea of multiple handles in Ayu,..so I made Aida with 2 functional handles.
This short hand handle is double fold 3/4" witdth, trimmed with brass hardwares.

As all my other bags,..this bag interior have a zip pocket, an open and a mobile pocket.

A long sling leather strap,.. 1" width.
I am really happy with the outcome of Aida,...but still there are some modification to be made . There will be changes on the flap outline shape and the hand handle.

Already 50% done , now in the process of preparing the straps. Will post them on the blog when they're ready.
