The bags are not uniform or identical. The dimensions vary, and the bags may not be perfectly symmetrical. They appear to be manufactured in part by hand because they lack the uniformity of a product made by a fully automated mechanical process. While the color, texture, and graphical prints of the bag tends to be uniform. The stitching and precise shape vary. The bags may have loose threads, attached or unattached. Attached threads can be cut with small scissors or a nail clipper. Unattached threads can be removed by fingers, tweezers, gentle adhesive tape, or a lint roller. The stitching is imprecise and, in spots, sloppy. None of these attributes affect the function of the item as a bag; the item is clearly manufactured in part by hand. There are more than enough stitches to hold the bag together and to maintain its shape. This is how the bags are, coming straight out of the box from the warehouse, off the racks, or on the wall in the stores. Irregular stitching and loose threads are the rule, not the exception with these bags. As an aside, the classic off-white or light tan bags with navy blue straps and bottoms also demonstrate considerable variation bag to bag; however, the sewing on those is more crisp than this cheese-themed bag.
