So we decided to make bags (because everyone needs a bag) but to make it the most unusual," Krukrustudio founder and artist Max wrote to Mashable.
"We started with wool felt, but now motsly working with leather and faux leather," he said.

"We started this project from scratch. It took about a month to find right materials, draw sketches, make patterns and sew first bags," they wrote on Etsy. "Finally, we produced our first models for a chain of handmade shops in Moscow by March. Since then these fascinating 'bags-objects' make their way finding admirers throughout the world."

But if we finally start working on a specific bag then it takes one to seven days to make it," Max told Mashable. "We start from a tiny image that becomes a pattern, which becomes a prototype. Then we make corrections according to our taste and then finalize it as a finished bag."
Some of the bags come in three different sizes – choose wisely, to make sure you can fit your favorite book inside.

That lets us just work on the product and don't lose our energy on advertising," Max said. "These bags advertise themselves. We just work hard to keep up to the initial idea of making something beautiful to this world."
There are also almost too many Harry Potter-themed bags to count.
