Tallis & Tefillin Bag, Malchut Custom Design #1017

Custom #1017 belongs to the range Malchut reserves for its more considered embroidery work. What distinguishes these numbers is not extra ornament but how the stitching is laid down — tighter, more even, and placed with more thought about how the panel sits when the bag is closed and when it is open on a shtender.

The bag comes in three sizes. The bar mitzvah 10.5 x 10 is the proportion for a boy with tefillin. The large talis bag at 14 x 14 is the everyday adult size and holds a full tallis alongside tefillin. The extra large at 16 x 16 is the one for a heavy wool tallis, or for a man who never wants to be pressing things down to get the bag shut.

For a family buying at a bar mitzvah, this is the sort of bag that gets carried into yeshiva and beyond rather than replaced after a few years, which is generally the better use of the money.
