BIGBAG FACTS
​
+++ IDEA: Nearly everyone owns one of those blue Ikea bags - they are not really stylish but really practical! So the idea was to create a practical but also hip bag!
​
+++ PRODUCTION: The bags are HANDMADE in 069 Frankfurt/Germany - lets keep it LOCAL!
​
+++ ORDER: I sell my products online only. Have a look around and email me for orders/requests/questions contact@paradise-bigbags.com
​
+++ YOUR BAG COMBINATION: Pick outside and inside fabric, the style of edging and handles and the colour of your hardware. Please also let me know the vibe you long for (all glam/boho/i really love pink/bold/simple etc.) -- and I will create 2-3 different combinations (a combination contains outside and inside fabric, edging, long and short handles) so that we find the perfect combination for you!
​
+++ PIMP YOUR BAG: GOODIES! Your bag can be customized with cute lucky charms, fun details, eye catching bag chains and additional hardware!
​
+++ SIZE: About 55x37x35 cm, this is the exact same size as that blue ikea bag. All bags do have the same size - pls note that due to that fact that they are handmade their size might differ slightly.
​
+++ VOLUME: About 71 liters
​
​
+++ DESIGNS: There are 5 categories: La Diva (think glam!), Le Macho (think bold!), El Mucho (think beaucoup!), Cycle Bags (think in circles!) and the individual PixBags (you do you! send me your favorite picture and I will design a fabric out of it).
+++ Inside: One side of the inside is covered with 4 generous pockets. Each bag is also equipped with a lot of helpful hardware, which can be used in many different ways.
​
+++ HARDWARE:
- All hardware is picked carefully from companies specialized in bag accessories to ensure high quality and long liveability.
- There is a chunky keyring triangle (its colour is always gold)
- Attached to it are 3 keyrings (gold or silver) which hold
- Logo Tag - one side shows the logo, the other side says: hand069made in FRA/GER (gold or silver)
- Wash Tag - one side reads: DO NOT WASH ME, the other side says: I LIKE IT DIRTY (gold or silver)
- 2 tiny fun details (heart and star in gold, geometrical shapes in silver)
- There are 4 d-rings, 2 in the middle and 2 at the ends (gold or silver)
- Each bags comes with a bagchain attached on smaller snap rings (gold or silver). Placed on the 2 d-rings in the middle of the bag this bagchain helps you to hold the bag together without taking away from the volume (that is why there is no zipper).
- Each bag comes with an additional big snap ring (gold or silver) to enclose all 4 d-rings, this way your bag is closed from all four sides and the content is safe.
- LE MACHO bags come with an additional skull snap ring (
- The bagchain and 3 snap rings can be used in various ways, you will find them very helpful.
​
+++ HANDLES: There are handles in 2 different lengths - so you can carry your bag either over the shoulder (longer handles measure about 60 cm) or in your hands (shorter handles measure about 33cm).
​
+++ EDGING: I have tons of designs for handles and edgings, simply pick the STYLE you like.
​
+++ RECYCLING IDEA: I produce on demand and try not to waste material. Fabric remnant and recycled materials (all cleaned and in perfect condition) such as tableclothes, curtains etc. are used for up/recycling bags. Some of the bags with suede optic edging might have *scars* from where the bands of two rolls are put together. It is just slightly visible and shouldn’t prevent you from loving your bag! Lucky you catched a special one - I mean, how sexy are scars?!
​
+++ WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: The bags should not be washed, they like it dirty! Joking aside - please directly remove stain carefully by hand with mild detergent, do not let your bag soak. Do not wash them in washing machine.
​
+++ DUST POUCH: I offer a free dust pouch for every bag, made out of fabric remnant or cleaned recycled fabrics. There is a PARADISE BIGBAGS label sewn on it, and it helps you store your bag safely while not in use. Each dust pouch has another design. Offer only available if in stock.
​
+++ FOLDED BAG: The bags can be folded into a pretty small flat bundle. On each individual item page the heaviness of that particular bag is stated (light, medium, heavy) along with a picture of the bag in a folded state so that you get a better idea. In some of the videos/pictures the bag has a transparent plastic disk at the bottom to make it easier to photograph, this is just for the pictures!!
​
+++ AIRPLANE: I often get asked if this bag can be taken as carry-on baggage? Yes, since the bag is soft and easily fit under your seat, between your legs or up in the overhead compartment. But keep in mind that each airline allows a different weight that you can take on board.
​
+++ SAFETY NOTES: I know the bags look delicious - but please do not eat the bags and/or the hardware and/or the wrapping and/or the packaging – watch your kids and pets! Please also do not fight over our bags – there is THE ONE just for YOU too!
