It's prudent to rename it so there is a clear understanding of size. The inspiration for this bag came from the old USPS postal bags/newspaper bags. Clay and I enjoyed the size and capacity and figured it could be smaller and more practical for everyday use.
Regarding a thinner strap. As a guy who has had to lug around diaper bags for a year or so now: sometimes thicker is better. You don't want to walk several city blocks with a bag strap cutting into your shoulder
It would be super cool for this to come with the Minted Mail character patch and or another patch or two that could be extras with the bag. Also if it would be too costly I think releasing a patch pack with 2-3 minted themed patched (similar to the sticker packs) would be a super cool product and detail for the bag launch
I do like the idea of an adjustable strap however with thinner straps when the bag is full and relatively heavy a thinner strap can be uncomfortable and cut off circulation. Just something to keep in mind. Can't wait to see the finished product!
This process sounds so grueling 🥲 but the final factory really did the original prototype justice!! I also want to say I love the big “minted post” logo in the original sketch & the inspiration behind the bag
I can’t explain my excitement for this tote, ever since it was announced that you guys were looking into it, I was blown away by the design of the bag. Can’t wait to support you guys :)

Estimated price point?

Very excited, but making the strap thinner would remove the character of the bag so think about it carefully.

Nice to see how this bag is made. Very stylish design, in my opinion it is better to make a wide strap for it. Thanks for sharing the process.

Serious inquiry can I drop everything and come work for you.

Looks great, I think the adjustable strap would be ideal.
I’m very excited for this bag.
