Q:Hi Gabi. I love your Watermeadow and Plum Bird satchel bags and am seriously considering buying one of these but would like to see what the inside of the bag looks like before I make a decision. Is it possible for you to take a picture of the inside of the bag and put this up on your pages so that I can see what this looks like? It's important to me to know what the inside pockets are like. Thank you in advance. Hatty
