This beautiful, sturdy, blue and green cross body bag with a clip on leather strap has been created using the ancient art of wet felting. It has a shaped flap with raised leaf detail, an inside pocket and is fastened with a magnetic popper.  It matches my blue green ruffle scarf.

Wet felting involves laying out wisps of wool in different directions, sprinkling them with warm soapy water and then gently rubbing and rolling them (often for several hours!) until all the fibres have completely bonded together. During the process, other fibres and materials can be incorporated, such as silk threads and fabrics to decorate the surface of the felt. Scarves are made in one flat piece, but neck warmers, vessels, hats and bags are made by felting around a resist (or waterproof template) that is then removed part way through the felting process, and gently moulded by hand into the shape you want. This is often called seamless felting or 3D.

Did you know, wool is naturally:

– shower proof, (water sits on the outer layer and can be shaken off),

– stain resistant (dirt sits on the surface layer and can be easily sponged off),

– hardwearing (it does not crush or crease)

– sustainable (wool is a naturally occurring product)

– and when felted thoroughly, wool items become very strong and cannot be pulled apart.

This bag can be carefully sponged clean or gently hand washed in warm soapy water.  Full care instructions will be sent with the bag.
