MAKING THE DYNEEMA BREAKAWAY BAG

video produced, filmed, and edited by Alexander Lim

  • “For the record, it could’ve been some other random product you were selling and I would’ve copped it anyway to support you and your biz endeavors. But now that I have the product in hand, I’m just thoroughly impressed. From the stitch work to the material. I can tell it was made skillfully.”

  • "My Modokot bag is not part of my wardrobe anymore, it's just part of me 😝"

  • "What I love about your business is that it's very clear who you are and what and why you do the work. For me, I think it's the basis of a thriving business. It helps focus the owner and brings people to you because they like the story and what you stand for."

  • "I stay putting the straps inside the back pocket when I am not using it! I also like to clip my knife to the inside. It's great. Just used it for a walk with the puppy. Keeps all my stuff safe and not falling out of my shorts or sweats pockets."

  • "I kept my ID, metro card, and phone in the sling easily accessible, even while wearing my backpack on the train from the airport at 2am so I could reach for things more easily. It's perfect size and I feel cute."

  • "Your sling has been in use every day since I got it. Even had coffee spilt all over already and just washed right off. Vietnamese coffee with sticky condensed milk and everything."

  • "I usually don't use wallets, but this one is my everyday!"

  • "I so appreciate functionality and aesthetic. I am a consumer who knows if I really like the item, I use it for a very long period. I don't switch bags often unless I need more or less space but I'm kinda lazy, lol. I'm comfortable spending for great quality. I knew your bag would hit all those points."
