Flatpack Laptop Bags:

The Flatpack Recycle jacket bags are large but flatish, which make  them great to house your papers, mobile, wallet & your laptop. Or for your magazine, journal/drawing pad and pens/pencils. Plus, her back pocket is a cozy & easily accessible place for your MP3, mobile or keys.

The Flatpack is really sturdy because she's been double stitched where it matters and her outer shell usually comes from a sturdy woollen jacket in a classic weave. The wool really helps to keep your stuff inside safe from the rain (which happens alot in the Pacific West Coast) & the wool gives a lovely smoothness to the touch. A batting is interfaced and will provide cushioning to help ride out the knocks & bumps of everyday life.

The Flatpack's  front is made from the jacket's upper pocket and her back from a lower pocket. I usually try to find a place on the Flatpack to stitch on some of her original buttons.

Her inner skin is a satin lining which is also from the same jacket and both the inner pockets are reused. The jacket label  is left on the inside of the bag to keep its integrity.

Her cover flap is the collar & lapel of the jacket . A strong magnetic clasp will help keep your things safe inside.
