Handbag, Shoulder Bag, Wet Felted, Turquoise

Wet felted by hand of very fine Merino wool in several shades of turquoise and lined with fine white merino wool for added strength.  The front, back, and flap are adorned with wool yarn, silk sari strips, and machine quilting in metallic thread.   

The purse is 13 inches wide, 10 inches high, and 2 inches deep.  The strap adds an additional 18 inches to the overall length.  

The strap is a re-purposed genuine leather belt.

The flap closure is magnetic with the front flap having a decorative hand-hewn wooden button over the clasp.

The fibres I use are carefully selected from primarily Canadian sources giving preference to small businesses, renewable resources, and recycled fibres. 

Everything in my shop is personally hand-made by me with attention to selecting a cohesive variety of yarns providing an assortment of textures that is as appealing to the eye as it is to the touch.  All items are one of a kind and will bear the idiosyncrasies of creative human error.

Photography is done using natural lighting with the goal to provide the truest actual image that you will see in your home.  Please note that due to computer settings the colour may appear slightly different in person.  I aim to provide thorough descriptions, but if you have questions, please contact me for further clarification.

I am based in Canada.  For US and International customers, you may prefer to select an upgraded shipping method.  While this will cost more up front, it provides you with tracking features, peace of mind, and insurance should your item be lost or damaged during shipment.

Your purchase may be shipped vacuum packed along with instructions to puff it up once it arrives.  Smallish items are sent in envelopes, when possible, to keep shipping costs low and keep our carbon footprint in check.

Care Instructions - Work gently with hand crafted items as the natural fibers and hand made characteristics provide a delicate product that should be gently cared for.  Hand wash in cold water, roll out excess water in a towel, lay flat to dry forming it into the shape that you want it to retain when dry.  You can iron if desired when damp or dry. 

I don't offer refunds or exchanges, but if something is not right with your order, please contact me.
