festival bag

So a few weeks ago I posted the almost finished bag. It has been field tested on a festival since then, so here are some very bad cell phone pictures from 3 different phones (white balance? what white balance?):

But you can see how great the washed-out, distressed black and the purple snaps match my boots. Ha!

The bag holds my wallet, coin purse for the festival grounds’ play money, keys, running order, ear plugs, backup ear plugs, my tiny toy camera, two cell phones, sunglasses, reusable rain poncho and a few cups. Also, it can be worn as a shoulder bag or on a belt and it’s a pretty decent pillow.

I love all the little loops and pockets, and it’s so much more comfortable to have all that weight on my hips instead of my shoulder when I’m on my feet for 20 hours a day.

Say hi to the toy camera and my super metal compression stocking :P

And now some slightly better pictures:

Right now, it does not have a strap as I’m using it with my old air plane belt. Maybe I’ll sew some kind of belt to go with it for next year …

Also, it’s super crinkly because it has already been in the washing machine twice.

That is how it looks worn over the shoulder

And some of the front pockets: A small one with a snap button for ear plugs, a slot for a pen, and a bigger pocket for the running order or other paper stuffs. The last pocket you can’t see in the picture also closes with a snap button, it holds my flashlight.

And on a belt.
