  After several meetings, workshops and discussions. Finally my very first collection has materialize from messy drawings.
  
  
  
  I don't usually sketch out my visuals. I would just jump on the computer and start drawing right away. Also because I'm very dependent on the UNDO key.  Very tempted to get a Wacom Intuos4 Pen tablet to draw instead of using mouse. 
  
  
  The concept of this range came about when I was clearing all my pile up letters and majority are bills, bills and bills, all are out going.
  When suddenly, an inspiration came to me that I should convert all those envelope I was opening into bags and reversed the situation. 
  
  
  Immediately I starting sketching instead of drawing it on the computer. 
  
  Not fashion trained at all, but bearing in mind that my designs got to be functional and fashionable.
  
  From the concept of the first bag I drew, I came up with a a few more in different style. 
  I'll spare you the process of making and.... here's the collection.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The last I heard was that the mini envelope was selling very well. 
  Thank you Sembonia  for the opportunity and trust. 
  And to Christine for giving me all the creative leeway in terms of the bags designing. 
  She was able to interpret my visual. Mindee's Collection Launch was made possible with her help and guidance. Thank You.
