Q: How your famous bow-bag was born?

A: The bow bag was born in 2005 and the first model was quite simple: a big bow with the strap closure.For some years I didn’t realize no more bags. Some months ago I found an old bow bag in my garage and I decided to restart the production but in a better way…so I added the zip, replacing the old strap closure, and I also added handles or  shoulder belts. The result was great!
