Custom Pet Portrait Crossbody Bag – Embroidered Patchwork Canvas, Retro Colors - HANDMADE, NO AI

ANTI-AI Commitment: this is a handmade business with machines used in my process. Therefore NO AI is used in anywhere in my workflow! Every item in my shop is custom, hand-drawn + digitized BY ME. All bags are handmade in my studio and embroidery is placed by machine. Now on to the listing: Meet your new favorite bag. This isn't just a bag, its a functional, portable keepsake of your furry bestie. So what makes this bag special compared to the others you're seeing on Etsy? This bag is fully handmade by me, and in my humble opinion is quite literally a patchwork treasure. This bag is designed to be worn cross-body style for comfort, but it can be worn as a fanny pack as well (choose fully tightening crossbody+fannypack strap from drop down menu). My process: I begin construction of the bag by cutting and sewing all the (many, many) pieces together to create the fabric patchwork base made of waterproof canvas. Separately, I design a completely custom pet portrait patch using the reference photo you have provided. Each embroidered portrait is created without the use of AI or any auto-generated programs - just me drawing on the computer- usually for hours to make sure I get it just right - and then using my embroidery machine to stitch out the patch on canvas. That patch is sewn directly onto the patchwork fabric. This bag is labor intensive, but I think it is completely worth it AND SEW CUTE :) Details & Features Exterior fabrics: • Waterproof canvas patchwork base fabric in the following colors: magenta, dusty rose and sunflower colored canvas (these colors are retro inspired and also inspired from the colors of my logo) • Vinyl Gusset in black fabric color Note: If you like this bag but want it in an alternate color palette, reach out to me! I'm still working on a listing for alternate colors but we can customize this bag for your preferences! :) ✨ Interior features • Fully lined with waterproof ripstop fabric • Two interior slip side-by-side pockets • Key ring hook • Straps: 1” durable nylon webbing handles 🧵 Handmade the sloooow way Each bag is made from start to finish by one pair of hands - mine! I take my time because I feel like every detail matters - from studying thread charts to choose your pet's fur color - to embroidering all the details of their faces - and even to the top stitching on the bag itself, I care about it all. These bags aren't fast fashion; they are thoughtfully made-to-last for years to come. If you order one of my bags you’ll receive a truly one-of-a-kind piece of commissioned functional art. 💧 Built for Everyday Adventures These bags feel a little beefy! The waterproof canvas exterior and waterproof ripstop interior make them more durable than your average canvas bag. They are tough and practical, but designed with charm. Whether it’s hitting the trail, a grocery run, a coffee date, or your next weekend trip, your bag can handle it all — while showing off your pet's cute little face. 📸 How to Order 1. Upload a clear photo of your pet through Etsy messages. Photos should be face-on , well-lit, higher-resolution the better, and make sure your pet's coloring is accurately captured in the photo. 2. If you would like a name patch of your pet included in the design, please include their name in the personalization box. The patch will be made with either TYPEWRITER font or CURSIVE FONT whichever you prefer. 3. Approve the design. I will send you a preview of the pet portrait embroidery design for your approval. This is an actual stitch out of the portrait, not a generated image! After I have your approval I can begin construction on your one-of-a-kind bag! 🪡 Size Approx. 🧼 Care Spot clean or gently wipe with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry to preserve the embroidery. If you absolutely must wash it, wash with cool temperature using mild detergent and lay flat to air dry.

I am very accommodating to design requests - everything in my shop is custom! 💌Pricing includes USPS Priority shipping within the United States. Each bag is a one-of-a-kind creation and not factory manufactured. All bags are sewn in my studio and all are subject to some variability & slight imperfections.
