I guess it was inevitable, and I’ve been lax in updating the website about it — but people keep getting in line faster than I can sew, so the inevitable happens; the wait gets longer.

I thought it would be interesting to look back at 2009 and count up what I produced under the banner of this tiny business called Zugster. Here are the counts of all the bags I made in 2009, both stock and custom ordered. Its’s possible I missed one or two in this count, but not many.

Counts by Bag Type

14 – rando bags
8 – errand bags
6 – deluxe messengers
6 – standard messengers
4 – walkabouts
1 – backpack

Total: 39
