Pattern

This is where it gets fun.

I'm so tired of boring computer bags - let's go bright.

I'd also like a slight vintage feel - to contrast with the tech purpose.

Here's some inspiration - any favorites?

I want these bags to carry plenty, but not feel heavy and clunky.   Here's some inspiration:

Tory Burch

Michael Kors

Miu Miu

Petunia Picklebottom

Ketti

Marni for H&M

And of course, there's always the simple rectangular tote.

Should the computer fit in horizontal? or vertical?

I've heard that it's hard to find things in tall vertical bags - so I'm leaning towards horizontal - at least for the first line.

What are your favorites?

What are Clyde Bags?

Or more correctly - what will Clyde Bags be?

Wouldn't be fun to have a closetful of fun and colorful bags to carry my assortment of tech devices - ipad, iphone, and/or small computer - and to work as a purse at the same time. I don't want to carry two bags.

I've searched and searched and can't find what I want.

Happily, we just happen to have a successful camera bag business in the family - Cheeky Lime. So I am partnering with them to create Clyde Bags.

We will start out with two designs - so now the fun begins!
