Instructions to make the “mini” purse-sized version can be found on the blog. I originally designed the Daytripper to be a theme park or a city bag. You know, one of those carry everything you need for the whole day kind of things. Your water bottle, jacket, a book… things you may not need in your every day purse but when taking an extra tote to leave in the car isn’t an option. It’s big but it’s not *too big* meaning it’s about messenger bag size. Whether I have it stuffed (and you can really stuff it!) or not, it’s perfect!  The Daytripper features a back zipper (fully lined) and a top, zippered gusset. The back zipper is perfect for boarding passes, a wristlet, an iPad, a Kindle – anything you want very accessible but completely secure. The front slip pockets are specifically designed to keep phone and keys accessible. The inside features the zippered gusset and a full length pocket on one side. I’ve left the other side without a pocket you so you can customize it! For extra structure at the bottom of the bag there are instructions for an optional bag base sleeve.
