Design: (1) The crease structure allows the bag to change from a flat state to a three-dimensional shape depending on the contents. You can freely adjust the crease angle or strengthen certain creases to increase the depth or three-dimensionality of the bag. (2) Design a small area on the side or front of the bag where the user can imprint their name, date or other customized patterns as needed to add personality. The logo area is delicately sized so as not to detract from the overall design, and can be embossed at the crease, giving each user’s bag a unique story. (3) Simple and exquisite hardware design: The bag can be equipped with detailed leather handles or an adjustable shoulder strap, keeping it simple but functional. Choose a low-profile metal clasp or magnetic clasp to secure the folded portion, making the entire bag look sophisticated and easy to use. 3. Materials and colors: Using high-quality vegetable tanned leather, the natural texture and creases of the leather show more layering, making it more durable, and having the characteristics of strong water absorption and high ductility. In terms of color selection, you can choose natural colors, or you can choose low-key bright colors or simple colors according to popular trends.
