Rabbit Bag

 


Scottish artist Annette Tait introduces us to a beautiful handmade bag inspired by Arabella, her rescue rabbit --

This is an occasional bag for those special events, but whilst at home, Arabella likes to be on display where she can also be used as a storage bag. She has delightful brown eyes and a sweet expression.

The bag is made of machine- and hand-sewn parts. The blue and black flower cotton is very soft, while the straps are of a strong black webbing. The sides are padded to give the body shape and the same pattern is used inside as the lining. The edges are sewn together with finished seams out. The base and front chest are of a found black wool mix. The face is hand-painted in waterproof Gutta on a found white felt base. The plastic safety eyes are secured from inside. This bag has been lovingly made and has a few ‘my gosh!’ and ‘tut tut’ parts due to the hand sewing and sometimes erratic machine sewing. However, I absolutely love this Arabella bag and I hope she will find a loving home and make you happy.

Length 11 in x height 8 1/4 in x depth 2 3/4 in. Handle height from ears is approx 5 1/2 in.

Due to the small bits here and there, this bag is not recommended for children under 3.


 

The price is $70.00, with 10% pledged to the Buckeye House Rabbit Society

I look forward to bequeathing more funds your way in the future. When I read the story of Malcolm, I had tears in my eyes! He is so beautiful and looks like my little precious Zai, who is no longer with me. My little boy Wesley had a shocking start to life but slowly he is becoming trusting, less biting, less charging, and now he grinds his teeth for an ear rub. It has taken a few months, but normally I find that it takes about one year before the bad memories go away and they find that the house is danger-free and only filled with love, joy, and happiness. Wesley is coming along nicely!
