Abstract: The present disclosure describes products and methods for customizing carrying bags that allows users to express their individuality. The products and methods provide for users to periodically modify and update their carrying bag by easily attaching, moving, removing, or adding one or more patches or pieces of art. The products and methods include constructing sections of a carrying bag of hook-and-loop material and constructing patches or other pieces of art from corresponding hook-and-loop material to facilitate securing such patches to the carrying bag. Once secured, the patches can be easily removed from the bag, moved to a different section of the bag, or other patches can be added to change the customization and personalization over time.
