A very large and strong shoulder bag made in white Norwegian wool with gorgeous long Teeswater curls, inside pocket and a coconut button. It was inspired by the sea froth experienced on the British coast.  

This bag has been created using the ancient art of wet felting.  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.

Norwegian wool comes from mountain sheep so this bag will be extremely hardwearing. It has been thoroughly felted so will also be resistant to pilling. It has a large inside pocket and strong felted strap.

size: 34cm W x 29cm H x 8cm D.

strap 104cm long

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.
