Commission Questions - Replicas
Made my way over here from ManyBaggers!
What's the policy for commission requests to replicate a discontinued bag with personalized modifications? My Peak Design 10L Sling v1 has finally broken (teeth has ripped away from the body) and besides a potential repair - I want to know if it's possible for a bag maker to fully replicate the bag with tweaks. The v2 just isn't in the same ballpark at all - it took Peak a while to send me a warranty replacement which I'm super impressed + very grateful for but it's just not the same.
Tweaks that come to mind are removing the two capture attachment points, making the height a little taller, a more comfortable strap. What kind of cost would we be looking at? Is it even possible for a maker to source materials for one-offs like this? It even transpired that I could send them the bag to reuse all the metal hardware.
This has been the perfect bag for a 14" MPB and some pouches / accessories for work / EDC in general AND it's done double camera duty transporting a Z8, 14-24, 70-200, batteries, chargers, and accessories AND perfectly fitting a Z8 with 70-200 f2.8 mounted. Just can't find anything else like it.
