Transformer Bag Pattern – Dog Design Panel

A loyal companion for your Transformer bag

I created this Transformer bag pattern dog design panel for those who want their bag to carry a touch of loyalty and warmth. This flap features a cheerful dog face that instantly changes the character of the crossbody bag. With the Transformer system, you don’t need to craft a new bag every time you want a new design. By simply replacing the flap with Chicago screws, the look of the bag changes completely.

If you don’t yet have the base bag, you can always explore the Transformer Leather Bag Base Model to see how it works.

Materials I used

For this dog design panel, I chose vegetable-tanned leather without a finish, 1.4–1.6 mm (3.5–4 oz) thick. To bring the dog to life, I used leather dye for shaping and coloring. You can follow the same approach or create your own style with unique color combinations.

Size of the finished flap

This design panel is made to fit the Transformer bag base model, which has these dimensions:

• Height – 22 cm (8.66 in.)

• Width – 20 cm (7.87 in.)

• Depth – 5.5 cm (2.16 in.)

You can also adapt it to a different bag of similar proportions if you already have your own base. This flexibility makes it easy to use the design in many ways.
