Dumpling Drawstring Crossbody Pouch
These little linen phone pouches are 100% adorable! Although they're small, they'll comfortably fit a phone, wallet, keys, lip balm and airpods. The bag has an eight centimeter gusset which increases it's volume and capacity while the pure linen fabrics and generous wool wadding make it pillowy, soft and comfortable to carry.
I've made a few variants -
1 - Aubergine with an aubergine strap, red brown lining and red brown drawstring case
2 - Red brown with a red brown strap, aubergine lining and aubergine drawstring case
3 - Aubergine with an aubergine strap, autumnal check lining and autumnal check drawstring case
4 - Autumnal check with autumnal check strap, aubergine lining and aubergine drawstring case
5 - Autumnal check with autumnal check strap, red brown lining and red brown drawstring case
The fabrics on the front of the bag are repeated on the back of the bag however the autumnal check will vary slightly from piece to piece as it's a large scale, selvage to selvage check. Bags with the autumnal check are assorted, meaning that there may be slight variations from the images provided.
I've carefully sourced the highest quality materials that I can find so this product is durable, safe against your skin and environmentally sustainable. The outer and lining fabrics are 100% laundered and Oeko - Tex certified, European flax linens from Merchant and Mills in the UK and the dyes on the cloths are GOTS certified. I sew with cotton thread only, the batting is pure wool and the loops and dees are solid, sand cast brass. The dees are nice and heavy and I like the way the brass contrasts with the rough, slubby texture of the loose weave linens. The drawstring is 3mm leather and the labels are made of Peruvian cork fabric. These items contain no synthetic fibers which means they break down quickly in the environment without despoiling the earth for thousands of years or contributing to microplastic pollution.
The adjustable strap is roughly 130 cms long and can be shortened using the brass triglide so you can wear the pouch as a shoulder bag as well as a crossbody bag. The linens are between 160 and 185 gsm, or a medium dress weight.
Approximate Size
Length - 15 cms
Width (with drawstring closed) - 12 cms
Depth - 8 cms
Washing Instructions
Cool hand wash using a ph neutral detergent. Lie flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. Linen gradually softens with each wash, do not use fabric softeners because they coat the flax fibers and prevent them from softening naturally. After washing, the cloth will seize up and become coarse, then soften with use. This is not a fault, it's normal for a good quality linen fabric to do this. After washing, polish the brass dees and slider with brass polish, being careful not to get polish on the fabric. Use a white, cotton pressing cloth when ironing to avoid discoloration, or simply enjoy the effortless and poetic lineny creases just as they are!
