Custom Orders
Imagine a bag made just for you — not off-the-rack, but dreamed, sketched, and stitched with your life in mind. A custom bag from Made By Beth means you get to choose the shape, the fabric, the features, and the little personality quirks that turn a useful tote into your daily sidekick.
What you can customize
Size & silhouette: roomy market tote, compact crossbody, structured satchel, slouchy hobo, or a weekend duffel.
Exterior fabric: waxed canvas for weatherproof vibes, printed cotton, faux leather, suede, or a bold patterned textile.
Lining: contrasting cotton, soft nylon, or water-resistant lining for spills and rainy days.
Color palette: mix-and-match panels, colorblocked sides, piping, or a full monochrome look.
Hardware & straps: brass, nickel, matte black, or antique finishes; adjustable straps, detachable crossbody straps, or a short top handle.
Closures & security: zip-top, magnetic snap, flap with buckle, or a woven drawstring.
Pockets & organization: padded phone pocket, padded laptop sleeve, zippered internal pocket, slip pockets for cards, key clip, or an external zip pocket for quick access.
Personal touches: a leather patch, a printed lining with a favorite pattern, or a secret inner pocket for keepsakes.
How the process works
Inspiration & chat: tell us what you want—photos of favorite bags, colors you love, what you carry daily, and any must-haves.
Design sketch: we’ll sketch options and suggest dimensions, materials, and practical placements for pockets.
Material selection: we show fabric and hardware swatches so you can pick textures and finishes.
Prototype & approvals: for complex builds we may make a sample or mock-up; you approve before final stitching.
Handmade creation: crafted in-house with careful stitching, reinforced stress points, and attention to detail.
Final touches & shipping: we add personalization, quality-check, and send your new bag on its way.
Note: 50% deposit required once design and materials are agreed on.
Typical timeline & pricing (estimates)
Simple customizations (color, lining, pocket layout): 1–2 weeks; lower-range pricing.
Moderate custom build (new silhouette, special hardware, added pockets): 2–4 weeks.
Complex bespoke piece (unique patterning, custom leatherwork, prototypes): 4–8+ weeks. Price depends on materials and labor—expect a premium over ready-made due to one-off design and handcrafting.
