The Oxford Pin Bag (Pre-Order): April-May Update
Hi friends!
Happy May! Here is the combined update for April - May! I decided to do a combined update, as I was waiting on some photos from my manufacturer in April! I ended up finally receiving them all yesterday evening, so I am now sending them to show proof of production!
I also want to mention I was having issues with my email and social media accounts these past few weeks - someone was blocking me from logging on and trying to hack me. I took the appropriate steps to get my accounts back, so everything should be good to go now. I will be catching up on my emails from the past 2 weeks that I was unable to access. I do apologize for that if you've tried to reach me!
Back to the Oxford Pin Bags, ss of right now, we are hoping to finish the bags this month (May). My manufacturer was not able to finish production in April, due to waiting on some materials to come in (the improved clasps mentioned in the previous email). Although there is a slight delay from my previous estimations with production time, this does not mean that the shipment will be delayed as of yet. If you would like to review the timeline mentioned and/or the Oxford Pin Bag Pre-Order details, I have linked it below for your reference.
Below are some photos of proof of production and improvements for the Oxford Pin Bags!
1. Custom Interior: Below is the custom interior made for both the Sienna Brown and Black Oxford Pin Bags.
2. Oxford Pin Bag Parts: Below are the actual pieces that were hand cut for the Oxford Pin Bags. On the left side of the photo, these are the faux leather frames for the display pocket shown in Sienna Brown. On the right side of the photo, these are the faux leather sides of the bag and the straps.
3. Proof of Improvement: Thicker clasp were ordered for the straps of these bags, and below is proof of this improvement.
4. Proof of Improvement: For the backpack straps, we also reinforced how it was sewn where the straps come together. To show this reinforcement, my manufacturer used a blue thread when sewing this area I requested. This blue thread was not used in the mass produced bags. Again, it was only used for this specific bag to show the reinforcement.
5. Improved Flap: This part was a bit hard to show, but the last improvement was a more durable material was used inside the flap of the bag. Since it's on the inside, it's a little trickier to show. This photo is to show how the durable material used does not affect the look of the bag!
