Intro

Carry a piece of Jerusalem with you with this embroidered shoulder bag, its patches of maroon fabric stitched with a skyline of domes and towers. The design blends embroidery, brocade, and quilted patchwork into a single richly patterned panel, with a beaded cord strap and fringe finishing the bottom edge. Jerusalem imagery carries a sense of heritage and connection wherever it travels. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose textile work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Pieced from five fabric patches in shades of maroon and gold, the bag combines embroidery, woven brocade, and metallic thread detail across its face. It measures 9.5 inches by 7.5 inches, sized for everyday carry of a phone, cards, or small essentials. A long beaded cord serves as the shoulder strap, and the lower edge closes with a row of knotted beaded fringe.

Gift Ideas

The bag's rich color and detailed embroidery make it a fitting bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah gift, and it suits a housewarming or birthday just as well. Its compact size and Jerusalem motif also make it a natural gift for a bat mitzvah or a Jewish heritage trip. Anyone drawn to Jerusalem imagery or textile art will find it a welcome piece.

Care Instructions

Spot clean the bag with a lightly dampened cloth rather than washing it fully, to protect the embroidery and beadwork. Keep it away from direct moisture and store it flat or hanging by its cord to preserve its shape.
