Ladies Carrying Pouch

[Conard]

I have been toying with the idea of changing some of our current products to be used with e-cigs.
The simplest one to change would be this one to start:

It's a small, string handled purse. The handle is adjustable in length by pulling the braided cord into the bag on one side and tying a large knot to hold it. That's more comfortable than a knot on the shoulder. The handle could be removed or pulled in completely so the bag would slip into a larger purse.
I picked a taupe colored one so it would show the V4L PCC case in the front pocket and the 2 assembled units in the top pocket. We are planning on stitching 3 or 4 slots down the top pocket so carrying multiple units wont let them bang together and get scratched. The V4l unit on the right side is an XL with carto and the one on the left is a regular with a carto and drip tip.
It looks like we would make the purse about 1" longer than what the image shows to make it easier to fit the V4L cases.
Am I waisting my time with this or is there a need or want for something like this.
Just asking before I apply for supplier status here and commit to a bunch of extra work.
Thanks for looking.​

Nice idea Conrad sir, very nice.

 

[Conard]

Thank you Morandir, I have a few ideas for guys also but need some place to start.

Hmm... well, Conard, for my part my kit fits quite nicely into my existing handbags - even got myself a pair of cheapo reading glasses to store my in play batts in the case. Maybe the boys would have more need for a man-bag? It's a lot of stuff to squash into pockets. It really is a good idea though, maybe others will chime in and have more need for them.

Nice looking bag Conrad...I'm an accessory freak so I have a ton of bags that will hold my goodies...but its not to say I wouldn't purchase one.... Its a great idea for sure...I would reconsider the color, or will there be color options? ...black is a basic color for ladies purses and bags..and from what I've seen 'man bags' too. Just my opinion though...

For me a zipper pocket in my purse handles my 3 extra longs a extra batt and 2 cartos. If I am going to be gone for a long time I have a couple of makeup bags in different sizes to go in the car or a suitcase. I think the disconnect here is that woman don't want to carry 2 bags..one for stuff and one for e-stuff. Maybe if we are takling about women with briefcases or very large bags.
That bag is cute..but won't hold my checkbook large sunglasses my wallet ect and e-stuff!

Yes, lots of colors, I just grabbed the taupe one so the image would show up nicely on the forum.

Sweet...choice is always good

I think it's a good idea, conard -- but sounds like all the other ladies carry stuff in their purse. I don't usually carry a purse since i use a cane, so everything ends up stuffed in jeans pockets I do get some funny looks though when I have to carry a can of dr. pepper in my jeans pocket LOL

That's why I mentioned we could make it with out the handle or the handle could be removed. It would be like a small makeup bag but have sections to hold assembled batteries and cartos so they don't bang together and get scratched.
I have sold our old style Leather Cigarette Cases <--link, to a few ladies to carry their E-cigs and supplies but there could be better options.

Great job! Would consider one just to use in cars, etc.

Conard, I think it's perfect, I like the neutral color. I've been looking for something with enough pockets for my PCC and other PV stuff, and in a smaller size. I hate big purses, take forever to find anything in a big bag.

 

[Conard]

Thanks Ambrossiaa, It's still in the planning stage. I'm thinking of making it vertical with a strap that snaps off for someone that just wants it as a case or on for over the shoulder. That style could be made with belt loops for men or women to wear on a belt.
When I'm on a casual outing or at an art show I wear a similar belt pouch to carry MP3 players and, in the old days, a pipe and tobacco, passports, small cameras or even a wallet.

I'll tell you what..that flat fanny pack is great! I am going to Disney soon and that will work great!

This style in a selection of colors is something I have been looking for for years. A little larger than a standard wallet, but smaller than a purse, in black leather, (or what have you), without a shoulder strap, or with a removable strap. Now that I have vaping equipment, I would use it even more.

If it was small enough to fit inside my existing handbag, I would buy one. Though right now my pencil box with moveable dividers is working nicely....

I like it Conard! I have a very small purse, so my "stuff" is in a little bag on the outside pocket of my little purse....I am constantly checking to make sure it doesn't fall out...so if the strap is removable, i am assuming there will be D-rings or something on the top corners??? If so, I could clip it to the D-rings of my purse....hmmm.... possibilities...possibilities...I like it!

If you make it in purple like the cigarette case, I'll have to get one as soon as it hits the street! In the meantime, have bookmarked your site for next payday - that flat fanny pack will be the perfect gift for my sister.

[krashnash]

I'll take the blame on that - I'm a very bad influence!
