Pockets Are the Best Part of Any Bag
When I take apart jeans, I always save the back pockets. They have curved stitching and often a small label. Those pockets become outside pockets on my totes and crossbody bags. They hold a phone, keys, or a lip balm. Customers tell me they love having a pocket that feels familiar, like the back pocket of their favorite jeans. If you are making your own bag, try sewing a jeans pocket onto the front. It is an instant style detail that also works.
