One-of-a-kind felted wool handbag, handcrafted from raw Romney fleece, shaped entirely by hand.
From the Artist — Karen Borga
Fleece — White Romney, Short Curled Locks
It had a natural spring to it from the first touch.
The curls were shorter and tighter, with a soft warmth and a subtle hint of yellow that gave her a lighter, more playful feeling as I began working with the wool.
She held that energy as she came together—buoyant, lively, and full of movement.
I let her stay exactly as she was—playful and full of character.
Lining
My intent was to make the inside of this piece feel just as joyful
The fabric was hand-dyed in warm, vibrant tones that echo the subtle color in the fleece, but with more energy.
It brings a brightness to her that feels immediate and uplifting—something you feel, not just see, each time she’s opened.
Strap — Cork
The strap is made from cork, harvested from the bark of a tree.
I’m drawn to working with natural materials, and cork has become a constant in my work—lightweight, durable, and expressive in its own way. It brings a grounded balance to the softness of the wool, with a strength that holds its shape and a natural ease in how it carries.
Hardware — Brass
She is finished with chunky brass hardware, chosen for the contrast it brings to the softness of the wool.
That balance of weight and softness has become part of the language of my work—something you recognize the moment you see it.

Care
Each piece is one of one.
Natural variations are part of its nature.
LIVING WITH YOUR PIECE
Each WoolBorne piece is designed to evolve with use.
The wool will shift in form, and the brass may develop a natural patina over time — each change part of its evolution.
CLEANING
Clean gently with water. Allow to air dry fully. Reshape by hand as needed.
As the wool settles, lift and separate the fibers to restore their natural form.
STORAGE
Store your piece upright in its dust bag, with the bolster inside to help maintain its shape.
Meant to live with you.
Presentation
Each piece is prepared and presented with care.
It arrives wrapped in soft tissue, accompanied by a numbered and artist-signed bolster, a certificate of authenticity, and a personal artist note reflecting the character of the piece.
It is meant to be opened slowly.
