I felt it was time to create a bag with a different type of hardware and came to find myself pondering the possibilities of the internal wire frames by Emmaline Bags…
After much pondering, and a few trials of different designs, I arrived at the Heavy Hauler Tote Bag. The frames help provide a beautifully structured opening to the bag, which makes it super easy to load and unload your items – whether it be a load of library/school books, some bottles of wine, or even your laptop!
Given the purpose of this bag was going to be around carrying a heavy load, the way the handles were attached was a key design feature – they HAD to be reliable! So, I made the handles go all the way down the front (behind the optional outer pocket), underneath the bag, and up the other side. Why not, right?! This means you can have complete confidence that the bag will be able to carry whatever load you need to haul around. Phew!
