Leather Necessaire

$139.00 CAD

Color:

Simple and elegant, this project bag is the perfect home for your 'work in progress' knitting projects. Handcrafted from the same velvety soft leather as our Notions Clutch and other leather accessories, its simple design allows the subtle marbling and beautiful colours to take center stage.

Its wide flat base and unique zipper shape lends itself to open wide, allowing the bag to comfortably hold a medium-sized 3-4 skein project, such as a scarf or light cardigan. Inside, it's a simple single large pouch, unlined, the back-side of the soft leather a richer tone of the exterior colour.

Each bag comes with a matching mini leather tassel and detachable wrist strap for easy carrying.

We specifically selected this type of leather for its sought-after aging qualities, like the characteristic caramelization of the colour, a unique patina giving it a sense of history and character.

Estimated delivery between September 17 and September 25. Details >

Not as nice leather that I expected. It’s OK, but I wouldn’t repurchase.

I love the quality in the bag

I love the quality in the bag. And it is working for what I needed however, I am a little disappointed in the color as I ordered denim and it’s more of a teal green color.

This bag is everything! Minimal in design but packs a punch. I have tried to be one of those who enjoy fun whimsical knitting bags but theyre just not my style. Great around the home but not for knitting in the wild. This bag is authentic leather. It smells incredible. The top zips down enough to put wool and projects in and out with ease or possible damage. The notions pouch came stocked and its the perfect companion. I also ordered the shoulder strap. A girl likes options.

Great size and quality.
The only thing is it is more green looking than the blue denim i was imagining.
Its still beautiful but not what i was expecting.

Beautiful Bag!

I love this bag, its so beautiful and sturdy.

The only issue I have had with it is the zipper. During the construction of the bag, they use a sticky adhesive to hold the zipper in place I guess while sewing, unfortunately with use the leather pulls away from that spot and the stickiness can be felt. The zipper end, when closed, also tends to slip into the bag rather than resting at seam. As long as everything stays where it is, I don't think it will be an issue in the long run, but a valid observation.

Gorgeous bag, perfect size

Now that these fabulous bags have the crossbody straps, they are perfect. It is the exact size I need to take a small- to medium-size project with me. And I love that it zips up for travel. Now I feel cute and secure!

I love this bag

I love this bag! The leather quality and workmanship is outstanding. It’s the perfect size for a variety of projects. It also tucks away nicely into my tote or I can easily carry it alone. I now want one in every color

Hello,

Is the Red shoulder strap the same color as the Crimson Leather Necessaire project bag?

Thread and Maple

Hi Regina! Yes, the Red shoulder strap is a perfect match for the Crimson Leather Necessaire. They are made from the same leather and share the exact same colour tone.

I. Was at FLOCK and my daughter saw a leather necessitare( I think) that was in a lovely teal type color. Am I looking at the wrong product or are you out of that color?

Customer

Hi Kerry! Hmm... we don't offer the Necessaire in teal, only denim which is close but more blue than teal. Maybe she was looking at this: https://www.threadandmaple.com/products/leather-notions-zip?variant=40084476788869
