Orient Drs Bag

Experience the exquisite blend of Eastern artistry and functional design with our stunning knitting pattern for the ‘Orient’ bag. This generously sized bag draws inspiration from the intricate patterns commonly found on carpets in the Far East, combined ingeniously with the classic shape of a Doctor’s bag. The ‘Orient’ features highly decorative sides that are beautifully worked using intarsia techniques and a stranded colourwork base, making it a stand-out piece that showcases your knitting expertise.

Crafted in a luxurious Aran weight yarn, this pattern invites you to embark on a creative journey. After knitting, the bag is expertly embroidered and then felted or fulled, which serves to blur the vibrant colors together while enhancing the overall structure and durability of the design. Ensure your bag holds its shape with the added support of a plastic grid-type base inserted into the bottom, preventing sagging during use. Complements like Italian leather handles and ‘antiqued’ metal bag feet provide the perfect finishing touches to this elegant accessory, elevating it from simple bag to a statement piece.
