Custom East German Trabant Car Crossbody Bag
A humourous, computer-generated, black and gold, image of a customised East German Trabant automobile. The customised car's nickname, Trabasaurus rex, in an appropriate font, appears both on the vehicle door and below the image. The vehicle bears an Idaho license plate reading "TRABI REX" as it was customised by mythical Warsaw Pact Wonder Wheels (Custom Commie Cars) in Sandpoint. The logo of Warsaw Pact Wonder Wheels also appears. It may be easily removed if you wish. Add your own additional text.
The Trabant was the people's car of East Germany "Trabant" means travelling companion and was inspired by the Russian word "sputnik" with the same meaning. Over 3 million Trabants were produced in the span of 30 years. The Trabant's engine was underpowered, inefficient and created much pollution.
The much maligned Trabant, or Trabi as it was commonly known, has long been the butt of jokes, but has become trendy in recent years. Some have been imported to the United States.
The roof, trunk lid,hood,fenders, and doors were constructed with Duroplast, a hard plastic akin to Bakelite, made of recycled materials: cotton waste from the Soviet Union and phenol resins from the East German dye industry. This made the Trabant the first car with a body made of recycled material and was partially responsible for the misconception that it was made of cardboard. Various crash test results showed it performed better than comparable contemporary Western hatchbacks.

I'm loving this cross body bag is fabulous! It feels very sturdy and well made, it has pockets inside to keep your keys, phone and lipsticks separate and so things don't get lost in the bottom of the bag. I love the adjustable strap, so you can wear it long cross body, or shorten it and wear as a handbag. A great size, and the handles are strong with good stitching. I've had many compliments about the bag, I love it! The print is outstandingly good! I ordered the bag to see how the print stacks up against my original painting and I have to say, the print wowed me! It has captured my painting well and the colours are beautiful, very true to my painting. Some pics of my original painting and the bag next to it, fabulous print job!

What a great bag ! Really useful, great quality and colourful print. The colours a slightly bluer than the preview suggests but Joanne Short's wonder painting looks brilliant on this all over printed bag.
