Have you made a repro bag. You don't get it right the first time. There very cost intensive. Sewing material quality. I made a repro bag it's better than repro I made what I put into it. If anyone wants quality it's expensive. I can almost guarantee over a $100 into the bags. It may be close but he's not getting rich. So unless you make a high quality good bag hold judgement. If you make a premium bag people will pay. I can attest they will.

I have sold the most expensive bag in eBay history. $350 .
I too hired a seamstress. She has a $10000 embroidery machine. There's about 2 of these machines per state. She did entire bag for me. I will say the bottom of the bag goes around the emtor I know what is used and it's the same as Kirby. I bought duvetyne exact material. It cost $120 plus for material. Top of bag takes certain material. You may know some but I guarantee the bag I produced is best quality bacg anyone has sold. It's my opinion but nobody else has sold a bag for $350. Look at my bag you will not see better. Embroidery doesn't wash away. It took me and seamstress 7 months to get it right. U don't mean to be cocky but no buts just look at the pic. |

If you find something better. The. 595 is a rare and super popular vacuum. You may know what your doing but I believe I may know more about bags. My demdtress knows more not me. No hard feelings but Mike's $250 mine $350. Tell me what you think. If you got pics of love to see. Les |

thanks for the clarification. Did you have several black old style bags made? I saw about 4 bags laying next to the one you were showing/presenting. I"d be interested in an old style bag perhaps if you want to trade or sell....for a reasonable price. I"ve tried emailing you at the address you have listed in your profile and from last year....but no response.

If you want to email me lesinutah@hotmail.com I could explain further and I would love to here your process and compare to mine and be civil. lesinutah@hotmail.com
The bag springs are not garter springs. I used exact same spring Kirby does. I took a spring off one of my tattered bags and the springs match. It's up to you but arguing over vacuum board is wasting energy. Les |

Hear the comments begin.
I have made a reproduction bag. I have sold a reproduction bag. You have not made or sold a bag and you want me to give you advice that I know. I, got the material off of Amazon from a wholesaler in New York. I figured out the springs on my own. The fact that you want to know where I got the springs is funny. I will tell you if you buy 250 Kirby will sell you the springs. I will not tell you where I got the springs. It's funny, all the people in the thread the Mach or have a strong opinion are the same people that do not have a 505 all original vacuum. The 505 is the most collectible and sod after Kirby the is made. So if you want to know the laws and the rules consult a lawyer. I have talked to lawyers patent lawyers. I'm well aware of the legal ramifications. If you advise an attorney he could enlighten you in the same subject. So my opinion is my opinion what I know is what I know. if you think I'm going to give you any knowledge or expertise on how to make or produce the bag you're wrong. I spent 7 months over $500 finding everything out for myself. I was I just was trying to help you understand that making a bag is a little more time intensive than you believe. I am not posting anymore in this thread or commenting I've said what I need to say. I wish you luck. LES |
