The Perfect Airline Personal Item

This strong and sturdy (yet lightweight) bag is designed to meet airline size specification for a free carry-on personal item.  If you’re a light traveler, you can fit everything you need in this bag and dodge the aggravation of baggage fees and lost luggage everytime you travel.  

Made of recycled grass seed bags, food bags, and burlap coffee bean bags (made even stronger by thin plastic threads interwoven with jute),  this bag has three 17”x 10” compartments covered by its long flap.
The maximum dimensions for this bag are 17” wide x 10” high x 9” deep.  The bag shown above, however, has a depth of 6”, as specified by the customer.  You can specify the depth that you prefer (between 3 and 9”).  The heavyvfutu shoulder strap is adjustable.

Order the Airline Personal Bag for $40 under “Rectangular Everyday Bag “ on the Everyday Bags/Cross Body Bags catalog page.  Specify “Airline Personal Bag” in the special instructions box on the Paypal order form.  In the same box tell us which materials you prefer.  You can also email us at weRpiecework@blogspot.com with any questions or  additional specs or if you want to pay by personal check.

Cigar Box Bags

Here’s our newest little bag, a horizontal version of our Mini-Everyday Bag.  It has the same front and back pockets, the same roomier middle pocket, and the same $24 price.
What makes it different is that it’s sewn on the outside so it has a more constructed shape.  You can order it on our Small Bags page under Mini Everyday bags;  just specify “Cigar Box Bag” in the text box.

As with all of our bags you can specify colors, and if you want your bag customized, simply email us at weRpiecework@gmail.com.  

NEW Yoga Caddies!

We’ve been silent on this blog forever, but we’ve been very busy designing and filling orders.  One of the most fun and exciting things we’ve come up with is a very minimalist and easy-to-use caddy for your yoga mat and strap.  To free your mat and strap,  simply release the catch on the shoulder/yoga strap, pull it out of the rolled-up mat,  peel the Velcro fastener apart and unfurl your mat.  No wrestling with tight,  zippered tubes and strap cases.  

You can order this yoga tote right now by emailing us at weRpiecework@gmail.com.  We’re in the process of editing our giant totes Paypal button, but for now the best way to order would be to email.  Cost of this item is $18, which includes postage.

Carry-On Bags, Light and Strong

It has been way too long since I've updated this blog.  PieceWork is alive and well with new kinds of wallets and bags as well as old favorites.  I'm so excited about these carry-on bags that I've made myself sit down at my extremely slow ancient macbook and show you these bags!  Now that it costs money to check bags, we've designed these carry-ons to hold so much with almost no added weight for the bag itself that you won't need to check bags.  For the price of two checked bags you can have a carry-on that will do the job and not break your back when you try to heft a 60 lb rolling bag up to the overhead bin.

A customer wanted a carry-on bag that had two handles instead of a cross-body strap.  We made it with two overlapping top flaps that Velcro together.  Like all of our carry-on bags, it slides perfectly under the seat in front of you and is also just the right size to lift into an overhead compartment.  Because of the extreme light weight of the woven plastic and plastic film materials, it doesn't add appreciable weight to your luggage.  You can order (and customize) your carry-on bag at the Giant Totes link  here, which will lead you to our giant totes catalog page.  For this bag, specify Carry-On Bag with Handles.

To the left is my own carry-on bag, this one with a long front flap and a comfortable adjustable cross-body strap.  I have tested this bag on at least a dozen trips in this country as well as abroad, and I can tell you that is it the best carry-on bag I've ever used.  To order this bag, specify Carry-On Bag with Front Flap.  As always, we're happy to add a water bottle holder or special pockets (the basic model comes with a large central compartment and two flat pockets,  front and back) or any other features that you can think of to make your trip smoother.

Here's a side view of my carry-on bag.  You can specify all measurements of this bag, including the depth.  This one is around 8 inches deep.

If you want to talk with us about your bag needs, email us at weRpiecework@gmail.com, and we'll set up a phone call with you.

What Would You Like Us to Help You Carry?

Recently a friend told us about her neighbor who lives off the grid in the high mountains around here.    Every morning this woman hikes to a clean spring, fills two half-gallon glass Mason jars with fresh water, and then carries them home, one under each arm.  Our friend thought we might be able to design and build a backpack that would make the job of hauling water much easier.  Above are drawings I made of the details of the water carrier.  You would be amazed at how much lighter and less cumbersome two large glass jars full of water are when you carry them on your back with well-padded straps!

If you have a carrying need that you can't find a solution to, drop us a line and we'll work with you to design just what you need.  weRpiecework@gmail.com
