Red Nuno Felt Quilted Tote Bag

In 2023 I collaborated with Natasha Smart of Natasha Smart Textiles, a wet felting specialist, and between us we created a number of tote bags.

This is one of the bags we made from our collaboration.

The outer part of this medium-sized bag was hand felted by Natasha, incorporating silk chiffon, wool yarns and ombre shades of red wool fibre.  Each side of the bag is different.  I quilted the bag in narrow vertical lines, added a lining in a complementary red cotton and a zippered pocket on the insde, and added leather straps.

Approximate dimensions are:

Height 34 cms/13½" 
Width 33 cms/13" 
Depth 2 cms/¾" 
Total leather handle length 50.5 cms/20" (width 1.5 cms/0.6")
