Crochet Granny Square Purse

These lovely granny square crochet purses are handmade in Nepal and come in four colours: blue, white, black, and green. They have a zip closing and come with a useful short crochet strap to fit over your wrist. These purses are made high quality cotton and have lovely attention to detail, including cotton lining in a matching colour to the exterior.

These purses are made using one of the most recognisable crochet techniques in history, 'Granny Squares'; we all hear the term, but what is a granny square? A granny square is an often small, crocheted block worked in rounds from the centre outward, typically assembled together to form larger items like blankets, purses, and bags. Crochet items often double as pieces of textile heritage, and granny-square motifs, in particular, have seen enduring popularity since the 1970s.

When you buy this purse, you are supporting Fair Trade with skilled artisans in Nepal, and this modest crochet technique often makes creative use of leftover yarn, so you can count this as a sustainable purchase also!
