Tallis & Tefillin Bag with Clean Embroidery, Three Bag Sizes #4035

The embroidery on #4035 is clean rather than dense — a defined motif on the front panel with space around it, which is a different look from the designs that fill every inch of the face. There is no fur and no contrast leather, so nothing pulls attention away from the stitching. Malchut makes the bag once the order comes through.

Three sizes are available and they matter more than the finish does. Ten and a half by ten inches is the bar mitzvah bag, sized for tefillin. Fourteen by fourteen is the large talis bag, which is what a man wants once a tallis goes to shul with him each morning. Sixteen by sixteen is the extra large, and the one to pick for a heavy wool tallis or a bigger set of tefillin.

Restrained designs like this are the safer choice when you are buying for someone whose taste you do not know well — a chosson, a son-in-law, a rebbi. Nobody has ever objected to a bag that is simply well made.
