There's definitely something interesting there, i think it just needs to mature a bit more personally. im sorry but first thing that came to mind, before i read anything was that the blue bag pictured looks like a MJ stam bag rip off: done in a minimalistic fashion-student sorta way. simplified, and a bit too amateur for my personal taste.
