custom order backpack

Hi!
How r u doing?
We just had a long holidays called Golden Week in Japan.  It's very tough to get back to a usual work life...

Today, I'll introduce a custom order backpack I took long time.
Ms.K ordered
•Backpack style (plus mother's bag)
•Navy leather with tassel accessory
•Not too cusual look
I changed patterns 3 times and made samples 3 times. 
This bag was one of the most difficult pieces I have ever made.
Ms.K gave me sweet message and I felt very satisfied with this project!
