Tallis & Tefillin Bag with Symmetric Embroidery (Design #6005)

Symmetry is the point of #6005. The embroidery is balanced across the front of the bag rather than running off to one side, and that even composition is what gives the design its formality. There is no fur or contrast leather to break it up; the thread work carries the whole thing. Malchut makes the bag after the order comes in.

Cut as a bar mitzvah bag it measures 10.5 by 10 inches, which is the right scale for a boy handling tefillin. Cut as a fourteen inch talis bag it becomes the standard adult piece, holding a folded tallis with both tefillin. Cut as the sixteen inch extra large it gains real room, which is what a heavy wool tallis needs if you would rather not compress it every morning.

A balanced design tends to be the one that stays in service longest, because there is nothing about it to tire of. That is a reasonable argument for spending on the larger size now rather than replacing the bag in five years.
