Hidden Color Messenger Bag & Passport Pocket
These felted Messenger Bags and Passport Pockets are based on the idea of hidden color. Each bag has a plain flap that hides a brightly colored design or stripe. And inside each bag is a vibrant passport pocket that can serve as a pocket for the larger bag or may be worn on its own. Both the Messenger Bags and the small Passport Pockets are knit in one piece. Straps are knitted separately then attached.
