The Alpine Whisper Bag Pattern (PDF)

The Alpine Whisper Bag is a beautifully balanced design that blends modern elegance with cosy texture. Crafted using a combination of faux fur and suede, this bag has a refined yet relaxed silhouette that feels right at home for everyday wear or elevated outings.

The design features a striking large suede front pocket, perfect for keeping essentials close to hand while adding structure and contrast to the soft faux fur body. Inside, a secure zip pocket in the lining keeps valuables safely tucked away, while four sturdy bag feet protect the base and give the finished bag a professional, boutique-quality feel.

Versatility is at the heart of The Alpine Whisper Bag. The pattern includes options for either a chain strap or a decorative webbing strap, allowing you to tailor the look to suit your personal style, from chic and polished to relaxed and contemporary.

As with all Family Comforts bag patterns, customisation is encouraged. Play with textures, colours, strap choices and hardware to create a bag that feels completely your own.
