Based on a turn of the (last!) century Alice in Wonderland illustration by Arthur Rackham, this is a wonderfully whimsical bag that will attract lots of smiles and compliments when you wear it.

This bag was featured in the September edition of Shojo Beat (http://www.shojobeat.com )as a "Hotlist item" - we're so pleased!

This version is in taupe but we can also make these bags with a black canvas body.

Our printed three-way messenger bags are both wonderfully practical and totally individual. They can be worn as a shoulder bag, a messenger or a rucksack and are rugged enough to take a lot of everyday wear (see last picture for ways to wear this bag).

Width approx 15 inches (38 cm) Height approx 11 inches (28 cm) Depth approx 2 inches ( 5 cm) - though the bag will happily expand when it's full.

This is a professionally-made, strong, gorgeous bag - with an individually made print (done by us) and choice of body colours. It combines the best of specialist factory quality with a handmade, individually printed and applied image. The result? A very limited edition bag customised to your own preferences - but at a lower price than many chain-store bags.

PLEASE NOTE: The body of the bag is made in a small factory exclusively to our own design and pattern (and yes, we checked out the factory's ethical and employment policies). We then make each print ourselves and add it individually by hand. We do it this way because we don't have some of the specialist machinery needed to achieve a really good, professional quality on this sturdier kind of bag. It's still very much a small studio product with hand-made print (by our own hands!) and finishing.

More details

Printed individually on a tough but fine-grained canvas, we set up each of these images for maximum colour and resolution quality. The flap is then applied by hand. It’s water-proof, fade-proof and will perform as well as the best quality fashion fabrics. Dry-cleanable and you can sponge-clean in between. We want this bag to give many years of wear and pleasure.

The body of the bag is in a choice of good quality black or dark taupe cotton canvas, lightly padded to protect whatever you carry and to keep its shape well. The metal fastenings are in steel, and of good, heavy quality. The bag has a zip top and the flap holds firmly in place with two concealed magnetic fasteners - this flap will stay smoothly in place until you want to lift it. All in all a sturdy, secure bag.

Internally, it's fully lined in an attractive black lining with a woven stripe. There is one large zip pocket and a small open pocket for cellphone etc. Branded with a sewn-in “Baba Studio” ribbon.
