The Coastal Saddle

The Coastal Saddle is a generously proportioned crochet handbag that reinterprets the structured, color-blocked character of The Garnet Saddle in a lighter, coastal palette. Handcrafted from T-shirt yarn, the bag combines a slate-blue body, a warm taupe upper section, and a narrow band of deep navy along the base. The three colors create visual depth while preserving a calm, cohesive appearance.

Measuring approximately 15 inches wide, 8 inches high without the handles, and 8 inches deep, the bag offers substantial interior capacity. Its broad rectangular body and generous depth make it suitable as an everyday carryall, work bag, or travel companion. Dense stitchwork gives the silhouette firmness, while the rounded lower corners keep the large form from appearing rigid.

A dark sculptural wooden handle rises above the body and becomes the bag’s defining architectural feature. Its broad curved shape echoes the strong handle treatment of The Garnet Saddle, visually connecting the two designs despite their different carrying styles and proportions. A navy-and-white striped scarf tied at one side introduces movement and reinforces the coastal character.

The Coastal Saddle would pair especially well with white, cream, denim, navy, camel, gray, or other cool neutrals. It feels substantial and practical, yet the color blocking, wooden handle, and scarf detail keep it polished and distinctive.
