This exquisite felted wool purse or tote bag, created by the late Jackie Hansen, is a unique, handcrafted item. Each purse is hand-knitted, machine felted in hot water, and then carefully blocked into shape. Once the purse dries, water should be avoided, but it can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth if needed. A lint roller is ideal for removing dust and stray threads.
Key Features:
- Equipped with purse feet to protect the base.
- Magnetic snap closures for added security.
- Fully lined with pre-washed cotton fabrics or silk.
- Includes a foam core base reinforced with Plexiglas for extra durability and structure.
Care Instructions:
- For storage, shift the solid base sideways and lay the purse on its side.
- When ready to use, return the base to its flat position and fluff the ribbons and eyelash yarns.
- The wool used is moth-proofed, but it’s a good idea to store the bag with mothballs in a small container or bag to ensure its protection.
Handle Options:
- Hand-carry bags come with wooden or polyester handles.
- Newer bags feature beads on metal handles. Some beads may be glass, but they are positioned to ensure that non-breakable beads touch hard surfaces first.
- If any beads need replacement, the handles can be detached and opened for easy replacement.
- Shoulder bags come with leather straps, some of which include virtually unbreakable stone beads.
Additional Care Tips:
- Clean with a damp cloth if necessary and use a lint roller to remove dust or threads.
- Ensure to store your purse properly to maintain its shape and quality.
