Velvet Tallis & Tefillin Bag, Embroidered Design #V4026

Embroidered velvet, custom design #V4026. The thread work is dense enough to hold the eye on its own, which is what you want in a bag that spends most of its life in plain view on a bench or a shtender rather than tucked away.

The size question is straightforward. The 14" x 14" large talis bag and the 16" x 16" extra large both take a full tallis with tefillin alongside; the difference is how tightly the tallis has to be folded to get there. The bar mitzvah size at 10.5" x 10" is a tefillin bag — right for a bochur who has just started laying and is not yet wearing a tallis.

Families ordering for a bar mitzvah often take the smaller size now and come back for the matching large bag when the boy is older or getting married. Since the design numbers stay in the line, that second bag can be ordered in the same pattern rather than something new.
