Designed to carry the bare essentials, the Petit Bag is a perfect wee crossbody for neighbourhood strolls, date nights + trips to the local farmers market. It’s basically a deep pouch with an adjustable leather strap you can knot to your preferred length.
Each bag is made from my custom Tie Prints wool flannel — created by transferring dye directly from vintage silk neckties onto wool. It’s a process I’ve developed over many late nights, and it still surprises me every time. Even similar-looking ties can produce totally different results. No two bags are ever the same — and since ties are only so big, duplication simply isn’t possible.
Each one is quilted freehand with cotton thread and wool batting, giving the bag a soft yet structured feel. It’s fully lined in smooth Japanese cotton and finished with a sturdy antique brass YKK zipper (made in Montréal), sewn on the outside for easy access. Note: there are no interior pockets, but a Small Pouch fits perfectly inside for a little extra organization.
Care Instructions:
Wool is naturally resilient, stain-resistant + low maintenance. Blot spills with a paper towel or cloth. Let dry messes sit, then scratch or brush off gently before spot-cleaning. For a full refresh: remove the strap, zip it closed and wash by hand or on delicate in cool water. Lay flat to dry.
Each Petit Bag is handmade by Jen in her home studio in Orillia, Ontario, Canada.
