The Companion Carpet Bag

The Friday bagineer workshops have been super popular, yet we realise not everyone has availability on a Friday.

So, we’re extra excited to bring you this first of a few scheduled weekend bagineer workshops. To start off with we are offering the chance to make the amazing Companion Carpet bag from Mrs H. This beauty has been a real popular beauty and perfect for A fabulous all-round bag for many occasions. Perfect for showing off large bold prints and contrasting though the gusset area off the bag…

Believe it or not this bag IS beginner friendly. Main features of this bag include, a full width front outside pocket held securely with magnetic snap, one inside zip pocket as well as slip pocket. All finished off with a tubular frame that distinguishes this bags identity.

Choose from three sizes

Finished size: bag

Small – W 12″ x H 8″ x D 6″ (30.5cm x 20cm x 15cm)

Large – W 16″ x H 10″ x D 6″ (41cm x 25cm x 15cm)

Super Large – W 20” x H 12 x D 6”  – perfect for a weekend away bag
