A small felt crossbody bag with a tiger's face, about 20 x 16 cm, a little larger than a postcard. The face is mustard yellow and the back pale mint green, with rounded ears, embroidered eyes, a raised white muzzle and fine brown markings. It is handmade in Nepal, so every tiger is a little different.
Your phone behind a zip
The bag closes with a zip, so your phone, keys and a few small things won't fall out when you bend down or sit. Empty, it weighs about 152 g, so it won't pull on your shoulder all day.
At a market, a fair or on a crowded tram it is reassuring to have your phone behind a zip and the bag in front of you, where you can see it.
Worn across the body on a braided strap
Wear the colourful braided strap across your body. That keeps the bag in front of you and leaves your hands free for a basket or a handrail.
The yellow face adds a cheerful touch to jeans or a dark coat. It makes a nice present for anyone who loves animals or unusual handmade bags, including yourself.
The white muzzle is shaped so that it stands out from the face, and the eyes are embroidered. Because of the handwork, the shades of yellow and green vary a little from bag to bag. If you would rather have a cat or a bear, we have those in a similar size as well.
Caring for the felt
Don't soak the felt or put it in the washing machine, as it can lose its shape. Wipe marks gently with a damp cloth and let it dry at room temperature. Keep the zip closed when you put the bag away.
