Sweet Mother of Pearl

“In the Clutch” is Bonnie Golding’s signature piece.  Hand knit with multiple fibers of 100% Merino wool to almost twice this bag’s finished size.  Each piece is felted by washing hot water and detergent causing the wool to shrink and thicken.  They are then sewn together to create this charming clutch bag.  A string of pearls is added to enable it to be work across-the-body.  Each color and fiber felts differently making this a one-of-a-kind bag.
