Material
Each bag is built from polyester panels assembled as patchwork — the bus body, windows and details are separate fabric pieces appliqued and embroidered, not printed. That is why every theme feels dimensional rather than flat. Polyester is chosen over cotton because it holds the applique edges cleanly, resists fraying, and survives machine washing. The panels are edge-stitched and bar-tacked at stress points. This is a craft-heavy product; our patchwork team produces about 120 bags per day across the line.

Description
A travel bag that is also a collectible. The vintage vehicle themes — a peace-sign hippie bus, a classic VW bus, a yellow school bus, a Christmas bus — are built from real fabric patchwork, which is why they photograph with the depth of a handmade object rather than a print. It is a 20L carry-all sized for day trips, gym kits and kids' overnight stays, and the themes make it a natural gift item. For retailers, each theme is a SKU with proven gift-buying behavior; for brands, we can develop a custom vehicle theme exclusive to your line.
