Instead, I put 2 more “innie” clasp halves into the ends of the shoulder pad, and the straps connect from it to the bottom clasps for an across-the-body shoulder bag. Now, to make a backpack, just clip the strap ends to the sides.ĭispose of the fat shoulder strap – it’s a hassle to carry a separate item, and the connectors you chose are most frustrating to operate. I had a shoemaker sew these on you could do it in the same tasteful little pockets that the top clasps have. Since the handle straps have “outie” clasps on the ends, you need to add two more “innie” clasps to the sides of the bag, near the bottom. It is easier because it already has removable straps (and I refer to the halves of the clasps that connect the straps to the bag as “innie” and “outie”). I would have started with that bag, but it doesn’t have a zippered top, so I chose to fix the Windflower instead. I like the way your Switchgrass bag does the backpack thing, but it doesn’t have long handles or a shoulderstrap. (And we can improve the across-the-body shoulder strap). The main thing it needs is some modifications to the straps to work as a backpack. Now, your Windflower carryall looks good enough to go to a restaurant, holds all of the stuff I need, carries a laptop well, has two of the three carrying systems I need (missing backpack-style) and (unlike me) it even has a great bottom for the beach! So, the Perfect Bag needs to look nice too.
Nothing says "American Tourist" like a bulky daypack in a restaurant. The other problem with daypacks is that they do not dine well.

Most mid-size daypacks hold all of this stuff just right, but a pack on your back, while comfortable for lots of walking, is inconvenient for reaching into to grab water, maps, sunglasses, etc., so the Perfect Bag also needs to have a long strap to go across your body and over the opposite shoulder and hang at your side so your hands can be free and you can reach into it easily to grab your wallet while shopping.
Tall order, I know, and I understand that ideally I need a Mary Poppins bag - huge enough on the inside for a lamp, but tiny on the outside - but I cannot find one anywhere – can you make that? Here's what I am looking for: ONE bag that can be used as my carry-on on the airplane, as my shopping bag in town, as my beach-bag, as my backpack on a bike ride, and a purse when I go to dinner. And then there’s all the gear you need at the beach. So I need a bag that is able to comfortably carry everything needed to tackle an adventurous day: cell phone, PDA, passport & wallet, camera, cosmetic bag, keys, sunglasses, glasses, water bottle, snacks, umbrella, raincoat, maps & guidebooks, laptop & charger, pencils & papers, paperback book, extra layer of clothing (over-shirt or light sweater), and still have a little room for stuff I might buy along the way - so it cannot be tiny!Īnd I would like this bag to be my carry-on luggage, as well as be able to go on my back when I need my hands for riding a bike or carrying something else.
