Felted Handbags & Recycled Wool Accessories
Wool Makes a Statement All Year Long!
HandBEHG Design Options:
Each unique, one-of-a-kind wool bag begins with a bag design and carefully selected wool fibers from around the world and U.S., in a few (or many) colors, that are then expertly knitted or crafted from recycled wool, felted and blocked to air dry.
Fun turns fabulous when the clean lines of the felted bag design are transformed with exquisite pre- and post-felt detailing such as metal, vintage buttons, pennies, glass beads, needle felting, leather, bits from the scrap box and more.
First choose a bag style, then move on to handle selection and detailing where your only limitation is your imagination. We will communicate with you directly about the desired color palette and fiber choices. Variation of these basic themes are what take functional fiber art handbag design to a whole new level.
