However, after both of them wrote their names on the card, Meng Zhen took out a canvas bag.
By the way, I explained, "This is a storage bag for your dress. I designed it myself. It's made of a polyester and cotton blend, and it has a drawstring inside. It can be transformed into a shoulder bag."
After saying that, she turned out the drawstring and demonstrated it again.
Zhou Xinyue and her companions stared with their eyes wide open.
The cloth bag is beige, with a small piece of leather on the front, and the brand "Zhen" is printed in embossed fonts.
There are both handles and drawstrings at the hem, so it can be carried on the back. The design is very clever.
The key is that this bag looks much more upscale than the common military canvas shoulder bag.
They are all made of the same fabric, so why do they look and feel different?
Zhou Xinyue suddenly said excitedly, "Comrade Meng, how about you customize a shoulder bag for me? I want to use it for school. You don't know how ugly our army green shoulder bag is!"
The woman next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, you can design such a unique packaging bag. If you design a shoulder bag, it will definitely be more beautiful!"
The boys who were having dinner with me didn't have such a strong desire to shop, and they couldn't wear skirts, so they were not in the mood at first.
Now that they hear that Comrade Meng can also design bags, they also want a special shoulder bag!
Those who can play with Zhou Xinyue are all locals of Donglin City and have similar family backgrounds.
Although he doesn't spend money as lavishly as her, he is still particular about food, clothing and other daily necessities.
Xu Wang pushed his black-framed glasses and agreed, "Comrade Meng, I also want to customize a bag. But I want a handbag."
Meng Zhen's money-making motor immediately started humming.
Arrange it, it must be arranged immediately!
She is very good at making dumplings!
She also has a large number of materials suitable for making bags in her space, all of which were inspired by the handmade bloggers she saw online.
On a whim, I stocked up on a large amount of materials, such as metal buckles, magnetic buckles, various leathers, and artificial leathers...
I didn’t expect that these materials can be used now!
However, she hasn't decided on the price of the bag yet.
Facing the expectant eyes of the crowd, she replied, "Customized bags are also possible, but the price will be determined by the materials and craftsmanship, so I can't tell you right away."
She took out a small notebook and said, "Tell me all your requirements for bags. I'll record everyone's needs. For example, what material do you want? Canvas, leather, or a mixed pattern? Also, size, hand-held or backpack, and main purpose..."
The crowd who had just been clamoring for custom-made items suddenly quieted down.
They had never customized a bag before, and the most common ones were large shoulder bags and handbags. Meng Zhen's question stumped them.
But this is not a problem for Meng Zhen, who has seen hundreds of bags.
She pulled out her pencil and sketchbook, things she always carried with her for taking notes.
In later generations, there were cameras and memos in mobile phones, but in this era, only manual operation was possible.
There are fewer styles of bags for gay men, so she decided to get the men's style first.
After thinking about it, I casually drew a Cambridge handbag, a Gucci horseshoe buckle backpack, and a sports brand backpack in my sketchbook.
These three bags are classics among classics in later generations.
Let’s talk about the Cambridge bag first. The shape of the bag is similar to that of an ordinary men’s briefcase, but it is made of tough cowhide material and has a metal buckle, which instantly brings out the British college atmosphere.
The key is that this bag is as versatile as canvas shoes. Whether you are wearing formal or casual clothes, it can be easily matched.
As for the color, the most classic dark brown or black was recommended at that time.
Another Gucci backpack with a horseshoe buckle has been out of stock every year since then!
Just by changing the color and material of the horseshoe buckle every year, it can be sold as a new model.
Not to mention that sometimes, even if nothing is changed but a co-branded brand logo is added, it will be so popular that people will queue up overnight to buy it.
Of course, the bag is made of printed leather, which requires a relatively complex process. Given that English letters are often used sparingly in this era, Meng Zhen omitted the classic double G print when she created the bag.
The third is a sports brand backpack that is common in later generations. Made of a blend of canvas and cotton, it has a simple and elegant style and is highly functional.
Meng Zhen's painting skills, which he started learning at the age of seven, are truly remarkable. He was able to paint three types of bags vividly in just a few strokes.
Zhou Xinyue and her group were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out!
The skill of key sketching was not common in the 1980s. Most people had trouble even getting enough to eat, let alone learning to paint.
Even families with better conditions would at most learn some Chinese painting, but they would never regard painting as a craft.
The general public's aesthetic sense has not yet been cultivated. Besides, painting does not add extra points and cannot be used in art exams, so it is useless to learn it.
So when I saw Meng Zhen's skillful brushwork and realistic pictures, my jaw dropped.
After a while, everyone reacted and gave Meng Zhen a thumbs up: Comrade Meng, you are awesome!
Meng Zhen explained the materials, sizes, uses and matching methods of the three bags to the male comrades one by one.
Unexpectedly, the gay men fell silent.
Because they want every one of them.
Like the Cambridge bag, it can be casual or formal, and they can use it when going to school or after graduation.
The horseshoe buckle bag is made of sturdy and textured material, has a good capacity, and its design is unique on the market.
As for the sports backpack, it goes without saying that it is extremely functional.
Going out to catch the bus or train, going to school, hiking, and going on picnics, there is nothing he can't do!
Xu Wang stroked his glasses and expressed everyone's thoughts: "Comrade Meng, these three bags are so beautiful. We can't choose. What should we do..."
The other male comrades also nodded, looking embarrassed, and said that they couldn't choose.
Meng Zhen looked at their conflicted little expressions and really wanted to laugh.
I didn’t expect that gay men these days are so showy. They like all three of these styles.
But it is understandable that she picked out the best-selling products filtered out by big data in the future, so of course she couldn't choose one.
So, she smiled sweetly, instantly transformed into a professional shopping guide in the afterlife, and asked a soul-searching question: "I suggest you first tell me your budget for buying a bag."
Xu Wang was the first to say, "About fifty yuan."
A military canvas shoulder bag in a state-owned store costs fifteen yuan, while a black leather briefcase costs thirty-five yuan.
However, judging from the prices Comrade Meng previously sold her clothes and the bags she designed, the prices were definitely more expensive than those in state-owned stores.
After hearing his offer, several others also made offers:
"About eighty yuan."
"I have about thirty dollars."
…
After hearing the quotation, Meng Zhen had a better understanding of everyone's consumption level.
Anyway, you get what you pay for, so she will definitely make a profit.
