For Sale: So, I designed my own courier bag and now it's made

This is handmade, it has a lifetime replacement and repair, the fit is better than the other bag I was initially going to buy at this price, which was the Metropolis

Yeah, so do a lot of other bags (Jansport off the top of my head, and they're in a MUCH lower price bracket. Rubbish comparison maybe, but lifetime replacement and repair isn't unique...). The fit might be amazing, but people can't 'see' how well it fits on the website. Just trying to offer feedback, not criticise :)

I think "all I see is a silly design" is a bit needlessly rude.

i agree!!

I'm sorry, but you have to appreciate you are aiming at a very particular market. A market, if you take a look, that isn't big on logos. Maybe it's a bit rude, but I also think it's a legit point. If you're going to ask for 150 quid, it needs to be a design with wide appeal. It may be your brands logo, but surely there are ways to make it more subtle? I for one dislike anything with large logos and branding, and others have said the same. Everyone here is just trying to be constructive with their feedback.

Im used to working with a small market (obviously, its not my only product, I sell jackets, shirts, hoods)
My demographic is niche, and I guess I have to appreciate that this kind of bold design will divide, I disagree this needs wide appeal, there are lots of brands that do subtle and reasonable priced. I could not sell 1000s of these a month, I would actually struggle if I had to sell hundreds. So if your interest is something bold, reasonably unique, and heavily functional / longlasting. this is the product for you. If not.... then it isnt.

Thanks for the valuable feedback guys, I'll get some more photos uploaded tonight.

The bag is produced in the USA I am based in Brighton in the UK - as for the subtlety thats not my thing...heaps of brands do that, this is for a different demographic.

Ah right, well fair play to you and good luck with the venture!
