These lovely & fashionable felted wool handbags, coin purses, and hats are hand-sewn by artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal. Wool felt-making is a lengthy process involving boiling and shaping wool into the desired final shape of the item – with the intriguing result that most styles are actually seamless! Once an item’s shape is established through this process, other finishing touches are carefully hand-sewn onto the wool, including flowers, felt balls, and decorative embroidery on certain styles.
