Benefits of technology

[0004]The versatile bag, as described herein, provides the consumer with the ability to easily customize their mass-produced bag by virtue of a removable and optionally reversible art panel. This art panel may be removed by the consumer and decorated according to the consumer's desire and relatively inexpensively replaced as desired by the consumer, to allow the consumer to refresh the look of their bag, without having to replace the entire bag, thereby benefitting the consumer with an ability to update a bag rather than replace a bag. The decorating may be done by the consumer, by an after-market service, or a combination thereof.

[0005]The consumer may decorate the removable and optionally reversible art panel by easily removing the art panel and decorating the panel by hand by drawing, painting, marking, sewing, embroidering, silk-screen printing, pad printing, or a combination thereof.

[0007]The versatile bag, as described herein, provides retailers the ability to sell bags that will appeal to a wider consumer audience of potential customers with a lower amount of inventory. Currently, retailers have to take the risk on picking and stocking inventory that they think the consumer will buy. Although this risk will always be present, the versatile bag, as described herein, allows the retailer to offer something for everyone.
