After much waited anticipation I can now introduce the Tulip Sling Bag! I have been so excited about this bag…I think it is gorgeous and although the design has been extremely tricky to perfect, I think it was worth it.

The Wren Tulip bag is a more feminine, fun, relaxed and fashionable take on the traditional messenger bag.
Inspiration comes from my favourite flower : The Tulip. The flap and two side panels that extend into the adjustable shoulder strap all are in the shape of Tulip petals that wrap around the contents of the bag like a Tulip bud. Here is very basic overview of the design development.

The bag is closed with a hand-cut 1.5” Poplar Wren bird wood button. Click here to read more about these special buttons.

There are two pockets inside this bag: There is a zip pocket and a secret 5.5″ / 14.5cm hidden pocket between the flap and the interior that is bound to come in handy.

One of the many things I like most about this bag is the adjustable shoulder/sling strap.
As all my bags are made with unique fabric and individually so it is very difficult if not impossible to give you exact dimension of the Tulip Bag. Approximately the length of the Tulip bag is 16″ / 41cm, the width is 5.8″ / 14 cm and the depth is 11.5″ / 30cm. As you can gather - it is a well proportioned and spacious bag.
The entire bag is reinforced so that it is strong, sturdy and can stand on it’s own. The base is double reinforced and is not rigid.
