Shape and closure
This felt bag has a single, longer handle that sits comfortably over the shoulder or under the arm, with a magnetic closure that keeps the contents tidy without the click and squeak of a zip. The soft purple colour gives the bag a calm, slightly dressed-up character that lifts an otherwise plain outfit.
Shape and use
The bag is sized around 35 × 27 cm, which fits a small grocery shop, a packed lunch and a water bottle, or a notebook and a paperback with a slim wallet. The single handle is well suited to those who prefer to wear a bag on one shoulder rather than two, and the magnetic clasp closes one-handed when your other hand is full.
Material and origin
The bag is made in India from felt, a warm, slightly textured fabric that holds its shape well without ironing. Felt has been used for everyday goods across many cultures for centuries, and it ages gently with use. The empty bag weighs around 120 g, light on the shoulder even at the end of a long day.
Care
Wipe the felt surface with a slightly damp cloth for routine cleaning. Spot-clean where possible rather than soaking the bag, and let it dry flat in shape so the felt does not stretch at the handle. Keep the bag dry between uses, and avoid placing heavy magnetic items directly next to the clasp to keep the closure crisp over the long term.
