i look the look of it. made from scrap denim. I’d say looks the part for a laptop bag to sell/go with a eoma-* laptop.

i like it! thanks for the tip.

I wonder how the sew the scraps together? machine or cheap/slave labour?

yehh don't be fooled by the people who "pass judgement" on large-scale factories just because they get paid less and work more hours than we do: their cost of living is 1/10th to 1/100th of ours. remember, it was only recently in holland that a wealthy textile merchant purchased weaving machines and offered people jobs at 12 hours a day for 6 days a week. he had enormous queues outside his factories. why? because people in holland at the time were *hand-sewing* clothes, working *16* hours a day for *7* days a week, earning *less* money. and that was only 100 to 150 years ago. in a european country.
