White Gartel Bag, 8 x 8 Protects Your Praying Belt for Years

The white version of the plain gartel pouch, at approximately 8 by 8 inches. White is the colour that gets brought out rather than used daily: for a chuppah, for the Yomim Noraim, for the days when a man wears a white gartel and a kittel and everything he carries is meant to answer to that.

The bag is made to protect a gartel over years, which is a real concern for a white one in particular. A white gartel loose in a tallis bag rubs against dark leather and dark velvet and picks up colour and marks that never fully come out again. Kept in its own white pouch it stays the colour it was bought as. Eight inches square takes a rolled gartel without pressing it flat.

The identical bag is offered in black for everyday use, and there is a good argument for owning both rather than choosing between them. The white one spends most of the year put away beside the kittel and earns its place on the few days it comes out.

• Measures approximately 8" x 8"
