Custom East German Trabant Car Crossbody Bag
A humourous, computer-generated, black and gold, image of a customized East German Trabant automobile. The customized 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 customized 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.

Totally thrilled with this bag. The material is thick and durable (this is my third purchase of this tote bag). The printing turned out amazing. The bright red was just as bright as it is on the computer. So impressed with this bag.

Just wow! So thrilled with the quality of this bag; it's strong material yet light and well made. The printing is immaculate. The brights turned out just like the computer image.

I wasn't sure if there would be much inside the bag, as the product description was light on details, but much to my delight I found several pockets inside, including one that zips shut to secure money or other things you want to keep separate. The material is thinner and softer than I expected, but has two layers, which is really nice. The inside is black, and looks great with the straps.
Overall the bag is comfortable, hangs well and looks great. The image looks great, the print is where I expected and the details come through. Colour vibrancy is good, but the darks don't go as deep as they could. Not a problem with most images, but keep in mind the straps are significantly darker than the "blacks" in the print can be.
