Orchard — Dumpling Bags

Look, zippers and velcro are not really our friends in the fiber world. The Dumpling Bag solves that by keeping your project contained while providing a quick snag-free closure. Simply pull the handle through the grommet, and voilà! Closed up and ready to go.

modern & fun
We use durable fabrics in fun prints and colors, offering a variety of style options for the modern maker. From cutesy to elegant to plain ol’ simple, there’s a fabric combination for everyone.

reversible & washable*

Choose the apple print and rock it… or turn it inside for the plaid, a coordinating pop of color that still looks put-together on the outside. Get something on your bag? Toss most of our bags into the washer on delicate and air dry, spot ironing for more crispness & structure.

A note on this one: it's made with linen, which naturally softens the more it's washed. If you love a soft, squishy bag, go ahead and wash it as usual. If you prefer the crisper, more structured feel it has now, I'd suggest spot cleaning instead and saving the washer for later.

roomy & yet still compact
The squish factor of the Dumpling Bag shape & materials allow for various project sizes. Cram it full and it’ll sit up on its own. Tuck in just a hat or other smallproject, and the bag itself can be crammed into a larger purse or bag while still containing your project.
