He often carries a leather bag, either finished or in progress, and uses precision tools like a ruler and pencil.

Louis Ferdinand

supporting

Louis Ferdinand is a shifty, opportunistic man who sells cheaply made bags. He is a young adult Latino man with slicked-back dark hair, beady brown eyes, and a perpetual smirk. He has a slightly unkempt appearance, often wearing a wrinkled, brightly colored shirt, ill-fitting trousers, and cheap, shiny shoes. He carries poorly constructed, brightly colored bags that look mass-produced.

Customers

A diverse crowd of cartoon customers, representing the general public. They vary in age, body type, and ethnicity. Examples include a young woman with a trendy bob haircut and a bright dress, an older man with a sensible hat and glasses, and a middle-aged person with a casual t-shirt and jeans. They are depicted with exaggerated expressions of eagerness when buying cheap bags, and later, admiration and satisfaction when purchasing high-quality bags. Their clothing is varied but generally modern casual, suitable for shopping.
