Q: Can I design my own bag or purse?/Do you accept custom orders?

A: Yes. I receive a lot of inquiries like this. I just updated my design center to accomodate these requests. Please visit our Design Your Own Bag design center. Here you can select your preferred size, fabrics, straps, features and a wide range of options like monogramming, quilting the fabrics, etc.



Q: How much does a custom bag cost?

A: Generally, the price is similar to the bags I list in my online catalog unless you want me to make one of a different size or with additional features.



Q: How long does it take to make a custom bag?

A: It depends on your payment methods. Generally, I will make and send your custom made tote bag (if the design is similar to the one listed in my online catalog) within 24 to 48 hours of payment (if you purchased and paid online). If you pay via money order I can also send it within 24 to 48 hours of receipt of payment. If you pay by personal check, I will send it after the check clears my bank account (usually 4 - 5 business days). For a custom bag and backpack, it takes 1 week after I receive your payment for me to make your backpack.



Q: Can you make a matching diaper changing pad for the bag I am interested in purchasing?

A: Yes. If you let me know which bag you are interested, I can usually make a matching changing pad for an additional charge.



Q: I would like to have a bag with a zipper instead of a magnetic snap fastener. Is this possible?

A: Yes, I can make it with a zipper at no additional charge. Just let me know which bag you want and once I receive your payment I will make it with a zipper.



Q: Do you do monogramming?

A: Yes. I can monogram up to five letters for an additional charge of $ 7.00. Just let me know which bag you are interested and I will get back to you with more information about the monogram styles and embroidery thread colors available.



Q: Do you have bags of different sizes other than the ones shown?

A: Yes, I can make a custom bag for you according to your size requirements for an additional charge (for custom templates).



Q: I have my own fabrics. Can I send it to you to make my custom bag?

A: Yes. I will tell you the quantity you need for the outside fabric and inside lining. Alternatively I can provide a choice of inside lining fabrics for you to select to complement your fabric. Please note: I only work with 100% cotton fabrics at this tme.



Q: Do you have bags with feet?

A: Not at this time - but I might consider it in the future.



Q: Do you sell your bags at wholesale?

A: Yes. There is a minimum order.



Q: Do you have a print catalog? I would like to order via mail.

A: I don't have a printed catalog. My website www.pauljuliadesigns.com is my catalog since my bags change weekly, it's impossible to have it printed. You can browse my online catalog and let me know which bag(s) or purse(s) you're interested and I can invoice you via PayPal or you can print out my order form and you can send it via mail or fax it to me. My order form is located at this link: www.pauljuliadesigns.com/pjdorderform.html
