Inspired by the brilliant Vivienne Westwood this felted design clashes Argyle and Fairisle fabrics in a palatte of rich autumnal tones. The body of the bag is worked in just one shade of Noro Kureyon with each intarsia diamond creating a patchwork effect. The contrasting gusset and pocket details are worked in a fairisle pattern using Jamieson & Smiths 2ply Jumperweight.

With a fabric lining and smart leather handles as finishing touches this is the perfect day~to~night bag
