Felting a designer fashion handbag, dog purse or unique purse
Felted wool handbags are hand knit into “very large” unique handbags, and they are then "felted" into much smaller handbags. Felting is a process that ends with the bag being "shrunk" down in size and the wool fibers being "condensed", making the wool fiber 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 of a unique purse or fashion handbag.
Benefits of a natural, hand-made wool handbag
As these fashion handbags, bridal purses and dog carriers are made with wool, they are naturally water resistant. Wool is a sturdy, durable material that will last a very long time. Great bags for year round use, not just the fall & winter seasons. Wool material costs more than cotton or synthetic yarn and due to the use of the felting process, it is necessary to use 3 times the amount of wool that would be used in a regular knit handbag...therefore felted bags tend to cost more to make. However, we offer our customers quality, one-of-a-kind designer fashion purses allowing you to keep your individuality by having your own signature purse that will last a life-time. They are worth every penny!
Handbag Care & Maintenance
Wool is naturally water repellent. To care for your felted unique purse, we recommend gentle spot cleaning or dry-cleaning only. Do NOT put your felted fashion handbag in the washer or dryer (it will shrink down into a doll sized accessory). Felted handbags are made from natural wool fibers. These natural fibers may stretch over time. Use care. Even though we line the handbags to minimize stretching, please do not overload contents of bag as to not stretch your straps. Please handle your fashion handbag or accessory with care.
