To care for |
|
your felted purse: |
|
|
|
I recommend |
|
spot cleaning or dry clean only. |
|
|
|
NEVER wash your felted bag in the washer or put it in the dryer. |
|
|
|
Felted handbags are made from natural wool fibers. |
|
These fibers may stretch over time. Take care not to overstuff your bag, as it may lead |
|
to stretching the straps. |

Felted Wool bag? |

About... |
|
Felted wool handbags are hand knit into HUGE handbags and then "felted" into much smaller handbags. |
|
Felting is a process that ends in the bag being shrunk down in size, and the wool fibers condense making them tight and strong for long lasting wear and durability. In the all natural felting process, (no chemicals are used in this process) the wool fibers lock together to form a thick fabric. |
|
Each felted bag comes out unique - part of the process is letting the wool do what it wants, and form its shape all on its own. These felted bags are not lined because they don't need to be. |
|
Benefits of having a wool handbag: |
|
Due to the wool, these bags are naturally water resistant. Wool is a sturdy, durable material that will last a very long time. These are great bags for the fall and winter season. |
|
Wool costs more than cotton or synthetic yarn. Due to the felting process, I use 3 times the amount that would be used in a regular knitted handbag; therefore felted bags tend to cost more to make. |
