Long Neck. Short Coat.

An African even-toed ungulate, the giraffe is an interesting creature. It was once considered the "queen of beasts" because of its delicate features and fragile form. The giraffe's fur is full of antibiotics and parasite repellents. Although previously considered to be mute, current research now contends that they communicate through infrasound that is not audible to the human ear. They are leggy creatures that seem docile yet are capable of great speeds and of defending themselves.


I was ecstatic when asked to make a laptop bag with a giraffe silhouette.

The bag is made to fit a 10" X 15" x 1" laptop along with a powerchord.It has an adjustable seatbelt strap. The flap is held shut by Velcro.


The flap is made from an outdoor material called Sunbrella. It is a well-suited material since all Sunbrella fabrics are fully recyclable, require no wastewater producing dye, and have received GREENGUARD certification. Giraffes are not yet on any lists of endangered animals, but their habitats are shrinking as a result of human encroachment.
