Just FYI, the prices I have listed are the same regardless of stock or custom order, since each is handmade by me one bag at a time for the best quality and unique design.

Here are some photos of a recent custom Pica Concept bag I like for how clean cut it is:



One of the biggest improvements that I want to push forward with the Pica Concept is the way that the shoulder strap is attached and angled, which seriously improves ergonomics. The strap is effectively about 6″ longer than on the classic design, and doesn’t ride up or slip down. The taller size also helps to keep everything in place. I can’t get over how much I love this bag.

This particular custom order Pica has a simple pocket built into the front side for a netbook or ultrabook, an expanding zipper pocket with hidden color detail, and the surprisingly roomy main cargo area. There are even some pen pockets in a little flat organizer pocket on the inside.

Got an idea for a custom bag you can’t get anywhere else? Send me your bag wishes today, and let me make it happen! -madeline

For this customized Pica, my customer asked for a special order of sailcloth fabrics called Terrain X-Pac and Dacron Storm Orange. I love the fabric weave’s pattern, looks really unique and provides a nice graphic detail.

The Pica Concept is an update to the popular Pica, with a taller form, more durable materials, more practical and heavy duty zipper pocket, and ergonomically oriented strap design. I’d love to get some input on what people would like to see out of the next Pica. Custom order yours at the standard Pica cost, just say Pica Concept and let me know what kind of special features you’d like on yours!

I apologize for being a bit absent lately, I’ve been busy doing design and prototype work for a certain large company in the area and getting custom orders done. I’m still taking custom orders, as well as preparing to restock ready to ship bags for this fall! If you have any questions feel free to use the contact form and I’ll get back as soon as I can.
