Maple Leaf Backpack - Felted Bag
This backpack can go everywhere with you. The body of the backpack is a warm red, grey and natural white, reminiscent of those cozy wool socks you have always loved.
The comfortable leather straps are sturdy and wide enough to lie flat across your body. The soft wool holds it shape and lies comfortably across your body. All of the hardware is sturdy antique brass, made to last a lifetime.The wool flap is fastened with an antique brass magnetic clasp and has a needle-felted maple leaf design. The bag is lined with a silky grey polyester.
Just for fun, I have needle felted a small companion in your bag to keep you company wherever you may travel.

I started felting when I was hanging out with my sister-in-law and my young kids at her cottage on a beautiful lake in southern Ontario, Canada. I was immediately fascinated by the organic, mysterious process of making fabric with my own hands.
Well, everything around the cottage that wasn't tied down, was felted! Lots and lots of rocks were felted, which progressed to soaps and a felter was born.
Each piece that I make is unique. There is NO way I could make two the same; alike maybe, but not the same. There is no quest for perfect. I love wavy edges and rippled texture. Organic. Natural.
I am a very proud Canadian and I wanted to celebrate all that I love through Heritage Felt.
