Handmade Felted Wool Purse – Artisan-Crafted with Unique Texture and Structure

This handmade felted wool purse is a one-of-a-kind accessory crafted through a detailed, multi-step artisanal process. Each purse is originally hand-knitted using 100% wool yarn, then machine-felted in extremely hot water to create a thick, dense, and durable fabric. The felting process naturally shrinks and tightens the wool, giving it a firm yet soft texture that holds its shape over time. After felting, each purse is carefully blocked and shaped, ensuring that no two purses are exactly alike.

Designed with both style and functionality in mind, the purse is fully lined with pre-washed cotton or silk for added comfort and quality. Inside, a removable foam core base reinforced with Plexiglas provides structure and helps the bag maintain its form even during regular use. All bags are finished with magnetic snap closures for easy and secure access, as well as purse feet on the bottom to protect against wear and surface contact.

The exterior is tastefully embellished with textured yarns, ribbons, and decorative fibers, adding dimension and visual interest. Depending on the model, handles vary in style and material: some feature classic wooden or polyester handles, while others use contemporary metal rings adorned with beads. Select shoulder bag styles are equipped with leather straps and accented with a section of solid stone beads known for their strength and durability. Beads on metal-handled bags are arranged so that non-breakable elements are most likely to come into contact with surfaces, reducing the risk of damage.

Caring for the purse is simple. Although the felted wool is sturdy, it is no longer water-friendly once dried. To clean, use a lint roller to remove dust, lint, or stray fibers. If necessary, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth, but avoid soaking or immersing the bag in water. For long-term storage, shift the internal base to the side and lay the purse on its side to maintain shape. Before using again, flatten the base into position and lightly fluff the decorative fibers for a refreshed look.

These purses are crafted using moth-proofed wool, but for added protection during storage, placing a few mothballs in a small sealed container inside the bag is recommended. Each purse is thoughtfully made with care, showcasing the art of felting in a functional, elegant design that is built to last.
