Fashionary Bag Design

I was recommended this book by a professor in an accessory design course, and WOW, it’s amazing! Literally everything you need to know in a crash course about bags, and a bunch of stuff you didn’t need to know, but is cool to learn anyway. I love that it includes a guide on bag shapes- conventional, historical, and brand icons- as well as sample patterns for certain bags. I wish I had this book when I started patternmaking for bags!

I’m not even a bag designer, but this helps so much to articulate the features I’m drawn to as I look at future purchases.

I have a small handmade bag business and I am over the moon about this book! It covers a comprehensive amount of bag styles, bag anatomy, process, fabrics, care, templates, and measurements. They also have a great chapter on recommended books, trade fairs, and spec sheet examples. It covers topics that I didn’t know that I should know.

I love it, it is high quality and has highly defined images. I do think it could a bit more detailed patterns to be more useful. It is more a reference book than a guidance book.

Es increíble lo resume todo además que es precioso. Estaba buscando varios libros del tema y descubrí que todos los demás sobran . Es impactante lo simple y lo profundo que es

I LOVE THIS BOOK!! This book has some AMAZING information in it and templates to help with ideas... I do wish that the book had more information than it did pictures but it’s still an amazing book to have

For starters I will say I am new to the accessories world as a new designer and was looking for something to bridge all of my newfound knowledge together. I was specifically looking for advice on proper pattern making for bags and after looking at various book reviews this seemed like it would do the job. There are a lot of pieces of extremely informative details of the bag making process that I quite appreciate. However when it comes to the patterns included in the book, I found them to be extremely limited. There is a section for bag patterns which includes only 6 patterns, and they are missing dimensions. This is quite a huge omission. Even if one wanted to size the patterns to their liking, I feel there should be at least a base set of measurements for each pattern. These patterns do breakout the pieces needed to construct the bag, as patterns should. There is then another section names bag templates which is what I so hoped would achieve what the patterns section did not. Unfortunately this is not the case. This section provides different views of a lot more types of bags but is ultimately even less helpful than the patterns as it is ultimately just more pictures of the same. I do see use in this as far as creating renders go, but from a design/construction standpoint it feels a little unnecessary. The book then goes on to include a common measurements section which is very welcomed, but not as in depth as I would like. All in all I am happy I purchased this book for general info but will continue to look elsewhere for pattern design knowledge. If Fashionary creates a second volume of this that goes more in depth into patterns I would pick it up in a heartbeat.

Lo amo, si trabajas con accesorios es un libro que tienes que tener. Trae toda la información de los accesorios para trabajar los bolsos y más!!!

Çanta tasarımı yapmak istiyorsanız güzel bir kitap. İçeriği ile ilgili internette birçok video var bakabilirsiniz. Ben beğendim tavsiye ediyorum

Szczerze mówiąc liczyłem na jakieś szablony. Są, owszzem - dokładnie 6. Niezwymiarowane. 1 szablon - 1 strona. Jeżeli ktoś chciałby uszyć jakąś torbę, to ta książka nie jest dla niego.

Libro di gran qualità, ma mi ha un pochino deluso perché mi aspettavo si soffermasse su più modelli dettagliati pezzo per pezzo... purtroppo ci sono solo sei pattern per i modelli superbasici, per il resto è un ottimo elenco di modelli, terminologie, attrezzature. In compenso una lunga lista di immagini da ogni angolatura di moltissimi modelli, in modo da poter comunque capire da quali pezzi sono composte.

This is an excellent book. It has a wealth of information about a all aspects of bag designing. It's very well thought out and easy to navigate. It doesn't go into the entire manufacturing process in detail, but that's probably not why it was written. I found it concise and well thought out. It has extensive information about the tools needed, the components, and terminology with illustrations. As such it's worth every penny, and essential reading if you want to design bags.

Atendeu bem o que eu precisava para um projeto. Perfeito para quem quer entender mais de forma técnica o mundo das bolsas. Adquiri porque tenho Kindle aunlimited e me serviu bem usando no ipad, melhor do que no próprio kindle. Eu não compraria fisicamenre, ah não ser que precisava sempre.
