Red Gathered Quilted Leather Mini Bowling Top Handle Bag
A mini bowling bag in red, worked in gathered quilting and zipped along the whole top. A rolled handle, a crossbody strap that detaches, and a red lining inside.
Gathered quilting is worked in by hand, so the batches come out small.
Opening night, under the foyer lights
An opening night at the cinema starts in the foyer, where everyone stands about with nothing to do but look at each other. The bag is held by the rolled handle at your side, red and gathered, and the gold-tone zip runs the length of the top where the lights hit it. Then the doors go back and you carry it down a sloping aisle in front of a full row.
Red is a decision, and people read it as one. A gathered quilt in that colour tells the row beside you that the evening was planned rather than fitted in, and the woman two seats along who glances down at it is placing you, not the bag. By the time the credits run you have been seen from several angles without once having stood up to be looked at.
Nothing is said in the dark. It is all registered on the way out.
Gathered quilting on a bowling shape
The silhouette is a small structured bowling shape, and the quilting is gathered rather than flat, so the red surface draws in and releases across the body instead of sitting as an even grid. The base is flat, with four protective studs set into it.
A zip runs the whole length of the top, which is the part your hand works, and it opens wide enough to see everything at once. The lining is red as well, so nothing disappears into a dark interior, and the crossbody strap detaches and adjusts when you want both hands back.

Gathered quilt, small red batches
Gathered quilting is drawn in by hand before the body is assembled, so no two lots are the same size and none of them are large. Red is the shade that empties first once the evenings get busy, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Add it to the basket while this batch is listed. Fourteen days to send it back if the red is not the red you had in mind.
