Beyond grateful I chose Namanabags
I am beyond grateful that I chose Namanabags to design and create the bags for my lyre and n’goni.
These instruments are both very dear to me and it feels good to have sturdy and protective bags for them.
Before I decided to contact Namanabags I did a lot of research and the personal reviews really helped me a lot in the decision process. From the first contact it was clear that Elena and her team know very well what they are doing. The entire process is built up of clear phases: discovery and options discussion, final choices, invoice, start of the design process and check-in for details, creation process, customs documentation, sending of package, ...
As I wanted an entirely custom made bag for my lyre as well as some adjustments to my n’goni bag (compared to the standard model), Elena fully showed her creative and problem-solving skills. It was a blast to discover we were co-creating as she just as easily could incorporate any suggestions from my side into her design process. I must admit that at some points I felt insecure and it really helped to read Elena’s words of comfort and trust.
Apart from the process, the results (the bags) are the best too!! I like their finish, the way they feel, open, close and protect. I won’t go on a hiking trip with my giant n’goni bag, but I will transport it with confidence. And as for my sweet little lyre, I made a short video to show how it turned out.
I wish Namanabags all the best!
It’s just wonderful to realize how many happy musicians around the world are carrying instruments in their love-made bags.
With love,
