This bag is currently on display in the Winter Threads Exhibition at the Weigh Ahead Gallery, Dunblane. It is available to purchase directly from the gallery until 10th January 2026 and is not available to buy online at this time.

A distinctive handcrafted small backpack with a natural, textured finish and beautiful colour variation.

This unique piece is crocheted using a blend of natural raffia and blue raffia twines, combined with variegated wool to create subtle stripes of blue, turquoise, and beige for a look that’s both earthy and stylish.

The real tan leather adjustable straps and feature wooden button add a touch of luxury and durability, while the curved flap closure completes the design with understated elegance.

Inside, the bag is fully lined with a Liberty-style printed cotton, offering a pop of colour and charm. There are two internal pockets, one zipped for security, perfect for keeping your essentials organised.

Although lightweight and easy to fold for travel, the bag is beautifully structured, making it practical for everyday use. Its size is just under A4, ideal for carrying your daily must-haves without feeling bulky.
