Velvet Tallis & Tefillin Bag, Four Finishes Including Antique (Design #V1265)

#V1265 runs across four finishes. Black velvet with black crushed velvet is the most tonal — one colour, two surfaces. Black with grey velvet adds a visible second tone. Black velvet with a black and white fur panel brings texture into the face. The fourth is the outlier: charcoal antique velvet with gold antique velvet, a warmer and older-looking pairing than anything else on this number.

Each finish is made in the three sizes. The 10.5 x 10 bar mitzvah bag is the bochur's cut; the 14 x 14 large talis bag is the adult standard; the 16 x 16 extra large takes a heavy tallis without compressing it. The antique velvet option in particular benefits from the larger cuts, where the colour has room to show.

Four genuinely different bags under one design number is unusual. It is worth looking at all four before deciding, because the antique pairing and the fur panel belong to quite different tastes.
