Tallis & Tefillin Bag, Embroidered Design #2009

Fine detail runs the length of #2009 rather than clustering in a centre medallion. The effect is a face that rewards a second look: worked lines that hold together at a distance and separate into individual elements up close. It is a design that suits a man who does not want anything announcing itself but does want the bag to be good.

The three sizes are 10.5 by 10, 14 by 14 and 16 by 16 inches. Families buying for a bar mitzvah often take the smaller cut because it fits the boy and the tallis he has now. Others buy the 14 by 14 on purpose, on the reasoning that a bag like this should still be his when he is a father, and that a slightly large bag at thirteen is a smaller problem than a bag he outgrows at eighteen.

Either way, the embroidery is worked to the panel size you order, so nothing looks stretched or lost.
