Wanna Test A Bag Prototype?
Bagging For Business #12
It’s probably a bit late for New Year’s wishes, but still I want to send some love to all of you.
For the last months I’ve been locked inside my new-but-yet-to-be-finished workshop:
In here I’ve been obsessing over my first collection of bags. Iterating, scrapping, worrying, learning, rewinding. But before I cast Confundo on myself I need your help.
Over the next 5 months I‘m looking for volunteers who want test my prototypes in the real world.
In total there are 5 models which I’m going to introduce in detail below.
Choose one and write me a message if you’re interested.
I can’t always take color requests into account, as some materials are no longer in use, others haven’t been shown yet, and I need to test a lot of combinations. Still feel free to share what you like or don’t like — the bags will use as close to 100% natural materials as currently possible from my side.
At the moment all the bags are handmade so there‘s a limited amount of bags I can produce over the coming months. So first come first serve. The bags might change a lot from what you see in the pictures. It’s still a playground and ideas can hit anytime. But every iteration will incorporate your feedback and in general quality should get better and better… fingers crossed.
The Bags
There are three types to choose from:
The Undercover Sacoche
The Cozy One Shoulder Bag
The Boat Weekender Bag
The Cozy One exists in three sizes: Small, Medium & Large. The three sizes are designed for different use cases. I might end up adding sizes to the weekender as well.
The Undercover Sacoche
A flat, low-profile bag for your essentials — keys, phone, wallet. Subtle enough to disappear under a jacket, simple enough to use with one hand. It opens like a fan and closes with a single pull on the cord.
I published a deep dive into the design development of this bag back in summer, in case you’re interested:
The Cosy One Shoulder Bag
A crossbody bag with a wide array of compartments, a generous opening, and three sizes. Designed to carry everything you need for commuting and exploring. And most importantly: so cozy you won’t want to put it down.
Size L
Big enough to house a 13 inch laptop. No extra sleeve needed.
Size M
Room for everything you need to roam around. Umbrella, bottle, camera, headphones, book, you name it. There’s even a dedicated spot for glasses.
Size S
Had to try the cozy-one-concept for a classic fanny bag. So nice to house every essential—like phone, small notebook, keys and earphones—in a dedicated compartment.
The Boat Weekender Bag
The lower shell — the “boat” — protects the material from unnecessary wear. The space in between offers room for shoes or quick access to your phone. The collar not only makes the zipper easier to use, but also hides a secret pocket.
Found your favourite? Or want to try something you haven’t used before, just write me. You can just answer this e-mail, DM me on Substack, Insta or even give me a call.
Even if you don’t give an f*** but know someone who might, send them the link to this post.
Hope you have a healthy and happy 2026.
