When I was 15, I learned to sew from my mother so I could design and make my own backpack. The blue backpack was the first bag I made, using 500D cordura, upholstery leather and water-resistant ripstop for the lining. Since then I've continued making clothing and bags, mainly for myself, including a dress, a trench coat, sweatpants, lined a jacket and a reversible tsuno bag.
