Velvet Tallis & Tefillin Bag with Scrolling Embroidery (Design #V1056)

Scrolling embroidery runs across the velvet on #V1056 — curved lines that follow one another over the face rather than a single centred motif. It is one of the quieter designs in the Malchut velvet line: the movement is in the thread, not in a contrast fabric, and the whole bag stays one colour family.

The bag is cut at 10.5 x 10, 14 x 14 or 16 x 16. Scroll work suits the larger sizes particularly well, since the lines have room to run before they meet an edge; on the bar mitzvah bag the same design reads tighter and denser. Choose the size by the tallis — a boy's tallis and tefillin in the smallest, a standard tallis in the 14 x 14, a heavy wool one in the 16 x 16.

For a man who does not want a bag that announces itself, scrolling work on a single velvet colour is about as restrained as embroidered velvet gets.
