Tallis & Tefillin Bag in Black or White Leather with Color Embroidery #5010

Colour comes from the thread on #5010, not from a fur panel. Three of the four options are black leather with coloured embroidery: blue, silver, or a lighter blue that sits noticeably softer against the hide. The fourth reverses everything — white leather with black embroidery, which is the sharpest contrast in the group and the most striking of the four. In every case the leather is smooth and the stitching does the work.

Sizes run bar mitzvah at 10.5 by 10 inches, large talis bag at 14 by 14, and extra large at 16 by 16. The middle size is the everyday adult bag, holding a folded tallis with both tefillin. The 16 by 16 is for a heavier tallis or for someone who wants everything to sit loose.

Silver on black is the option that most often goes to a chosson, since it holds up under a chupah photograph and still looks correct in shul on an ordinary Tuesday morning. The blue options suit a younger boy without looking childish.
