I've tweaked my original design. This version has a strap so you can wear it over your shoulder.

This handmade felt handbag has beautiful shaded coloring. The Beige base gradually changes into a marled Beige and Cream color blend on the handles

I use my own design to create this lovely, curvy sculptural handbag.

The handle which curls around in a pleasing and comfortable way is constructed so that the bag opens fully but always springs back into shape.

I hand knit my felt handbags with 3 strands of 4ply (fingering) 100% wool yarn. Beige and cream yarns were combined as I knitted to create the interesting shading on this felt bag.

The handbag is fulled or wet felted then carefully shaped and dried to form a strong, dense yet pleasingly tactile bag.
