Custom East German Trabant Car Crossbody Bag
A humourous, computer-generated, black and gold, image of a customised East German Trabant automobile. The customised car's nickname, Trabasaurus rex, in an appropriate font, appears both on the vehicle door and below the image. The vehicle bears an Idaho license plate reading "TRABI REX" as it was customised by mythical Warsaw Pact Wonder Wheels (Custom Commie Cars) in Sandpoint. The logo of Warsaw Pact Wonder Wheels also appears. It may be easily removed if you wish. Add your own additional text.
The Trabant was the people's car of East Germany "Trabant" means travelling companion and was inspired by the Russian word "sputnik" with the same meaning. Over 3 million Trabants were produced in the span of 30 years. The Trabant's engine was underpowered, inefficient and created much pollution.
The much maligned Trabant, or Trabi as it was commonly known, has long been the butt of jokes, but has become trendy in recent years. Some have been imported to the United States.
The roof, trunk lid,hood,fenders, and doors were constructed with Duroplast, a hard plastic akin to Bakelite, made of recycled materials: cotton waste from the Soviet Union and phenol resins from the East German dye industry. This made the Trabant the first car with a body made of recycled material and was partially responsible for the misconception that it was made of cardboard. Various crash test results showed it performed better than comparable contemporary Western hatchbacks.

All-Over-Print Tote, Cross-Body Bag, Medium
Really thrilled with the size and style of this bag. Solid and sturdy and huge capacity. Really good quality fabric and
Was a little disappointed with the quality of the sewing - uncut, loose threads and uneven stitching where stitches are visible. (ir round the top of the bag)
I also didn't realise that it was two different tartans (both McLeod) but that was my own fault for not reading it properly. Maybe it could be labelled a little more clearly though.
In general though, very happy with it. The colours on the side I wanted were wonderful

This large shopping tote not only has a gorgeous design with pink frangipani flowers on each side, it is soft, roomy and has a wide adjustable strap that fits across the body. Excellent printing. True to the picture.

All-Over-Print Tote, Cross-Body Bag, Medium
Creator Review
This tote bag is a real conversation starter. The design consists of multiple eyeballs spying through the Internet, and includes the words "1984 was not supposed to be an Instruction Manual".
It's very roomy. The fabric is soft and flexible, and the strap is wide and adjustable to fit across the body. The printing is true to the photo.
