Tallis & Tefillin Bag, Custom Embroidery, Bar Mitzvah Size Up (Design #5060)

The stitching on #5060 is dense. Malchut fills the front of the bag with it rather than placing a motif and leaving space around it, and the result is a piece with real visual weight even though no fur or contrast leather is used anywhere in the build. It is made after the order is placed.

Sizing starts at the bar mitzvah bag, 10.5 by 10 inches, which is what a boy needs for tefillin in his first years. From there it goes to the 14 by 14 large talis bag, the size most men use once a tallis travels with them daily, and up to the 16 by 16 extra large for full wool and larger batim. The step from 14 to 16 inches sounds small on paper and is very noticeable in the hand.

Heavily embroidered bags of this kind are usually bought for Shabbos and Yom Tov use, or as a bar mitzvah gift where the bag has to look like an occasion. It holds up to weekday carrying too, but the design is doing more than a plain bag does.
