Embroidered Gartel Bag, 8 x 8 Malchut Design #1215

Design #1215 on a small square pouch of about 8 by 8 inches. This one is worth knowing about for a specific reason: #1215 runs across three separate Malchut items — the gartel bag, the siddur covers and the tallis and tefillin bags — which is a wider spread than most design numbers manage.

That makes it the number to choose when somebody is assembling a full set rather than buying a single piece. A tallis bag, a siddur cover and a gartel bag in #1215 come out of the same shul locker looking as though they were bought together, because they were. Families putting a bar mitzvah present together usually start with the bag and add the rest afterwards.

On its own it still earns the space. Eight inches square holds a rolled gartel without pressing it flat, and keeping the gartel in its own pouch means it is not being unwound from around a bencher every Shabbos morning. A gartel that lives loose in a bag frays at the ends faster than one that does not.
