Brown Tweed and Multi Tartan Dr Bag

Description

This Particular design was christened the "Dr" bag as, during the early design stages, it was intended to be much more like a traditional apothecary bag and, although the design changed dramatically, the name stuck.

Here, a beautiful handwoven, pure wool, soft marled brown tweed has been combined with a fabulous multi-coloured tartan.

This particular tweed is known as a "Keeper Tweed" because it is designed to be used in suiting for the games keepers working in the highlands of Scotland. Its much denser, heavier weave than normal, is warmer, more water resistant and even thorn proof.

The tweed is produced in a small family run mill in Scotland in small batches and is of the most exceptional quality. Combine this with the richly colourful, pure wool tartan base and soft green worsted weight wool lining, and you have a bag made of the most ridiculously luxurious materials.

Measuring approx. 11" x 12" and 4" deep, the "Dr" bag has a firm plastic base, and metal twist lock and feet. The interior pocket is closed with a YKK zip. The feature, bright yellow/green handles are hard, scratch resistant polyester acrylic and have an opening of approx. 5" from the top of the bag, to the top of the inside of the handle.

All my bags are entirely handmade by me in a smoke free, and pet free studio. They are double-stitched throughout, and triple stitched at any stress points. To keep their shape, they are all fully interfaced with ultra thick interfacing, and each comes packaged in its own protective cotton dust cover.
