Having space above and to the sides of the photo subject is important for these following reasons:

1. Eyelet Handle Holes

   The amount of space above the photo subject is important for the eyelet handle holes. These must be taken into consideration when selecting your photo for the Landscape Handbag, Portrait Handbag, and Tote Handbag.
   
   We do our very best to avoid eyelets landing on any key features, but it is worth keeping the eyelets in mind when choosing your photo.

   
   

2. Sewing Seam

   Approximately 1cm of fabric print gets stitched into the photo handbags by hand on all four sides. Avoid having any of the key subject at the very edge of the photo.

   
   

3. Shape of the Photograph

   Make sure that your photo and Blushing Bags item are the same shape. It is important to consider the shape of the photograph when selecting your custom leather handbag. Its shape will determine which handbag will best fit.

   It is possible to use a horizontal photo with a vertical handbag only if the subject is well centered. We will then be able to crop the horizontal photo into a vertical shape.

   However, vertical photos very rarely fit the shape of a horizontal handbag. That is why we have Portrait Handbags for vertical\portrait shaped photographs.

   
   

4. Photo Size Requirements

   It is essential that your photograph(s) meet these minimum requirements:

   • PHOTOGRAPHS: minimum of 3 x 5 inches in size, maximum of
     8 x 10 inches.
   • DIGITAL IMAGES: minimum size of 1024 x 768 pixels in JPEG (JPG) format.
   • SCANNED IMAGES: scan your photos at a 150% enlargement - minimum 300dpi.

   ***Note that during production of your custom handbag:

   • Your image(s) will be cropped and rendered to fit your item.
   • Colors in the photographs may vary slightly in printing.
   • Blushing Bags holds all artistic rights in the reproduction of your photo

It sometimes happens that a photograph will not work well with any Blushing Bags handbag; it is rare but does happen. In this event you will be contacted by our customer service and guided to select a different photograph which will result in a better final product.
