The pattern features lots and lots of options so that you can create a bag that is uniquely you. There are:-

  • Three flap options,
  • Two strap connectors options,
  • Two strap options that can be easily switched from a handle that allows you to nestle the Brigitte under your arm as easily as a long, crusty French loaf from which it borrows its name, to a long shoulder strap when dashing between events.

The Brigitte Baguette is a compact bag but there is still plenty of room to store the essentials. The interior includes a back slip pocket for cash, tickets, or recipes, along with three internal card slots that negate the need for a wallet.

Each bag measures as follows:-

  • The Micro Baguette is 5″ high by 9″ wide by 4″ deep.
  • The Mini Baguette is 5 ½” high by 11″ wide by 5″ deep.
