🧵 The bag base
The 40x13 cm Rectangular Bag Base is a 3 mm faux leather base designed to give handmade bags structure and stability. Its rectangular shape with rounded corners makes it perfect for shoppers, shoulder bags and medium-sized clutches, providing a sturdy base that holds its shape over time.
The pre-punched holes around the edge make assembly easier: you can work directly with a No. 4–5 mm crochet hook or sew by hand with a leather needle. Compatible with T-shirt yarn, sturdy cotton, cord and any yarn suitable for handmade bags.
🧬 Material and quality: why choose 3mm faux leather
Faux leather is a synthetic material that replicates the look and durability of leather, but is made using a more sustainable production process. The 3 mm thickness was chosen to offer the right balance between rigidity and ease of use: thick enough to hold the bag's shape even when full, but not so rigid that sewing or attaching yarn becomes difficult.
The smooth, leather-look surface gives your creations a professional appearance, while the finished edges prevent fraying and ensure long-lasting durability. It stands up to everyday use and is easy to clean with a damp cloth.
📦 Dimensions and shape: 40x13 cm rectangle
The 40x13 cm dimensions make this base ideal for medium-sized bags: shoppers for groceries, everyday shoulder bags and structured clutches. Its rectangular shape with rounded corners offers more capacity than oval bases while retaining an elegant, modern look.
The perimeter holes are evenly spaced to ensure uniform stitch placement and precise assembly. You can make bags 20–30 cm tall using this base, and pair it with wooden or bamboo handles or metal chains available from LacariaRicami.
🧶 Recommended technique
To attach the bag body to the base, we recommend a No. 4–5 mm crochet hook: this size makes it easy to work through the pre-punched holes with either T-shirt yarn or sturdy cotton. If you prefer to sew by hand, use a leather needle with a large eye and strong waxed cord.
The pre-punched holes mean you don't need to pierce the base by hand, saving time and ensuring a uniform finish. It's also ideal for those making handmade bags for the first time: assembly is simple and the result always looks professional.
✨ Why choose this bag base
Compared with cardboard or felt bases, 3 mm faux leather offers greater resistance to wear and moisture. It won't warp or bend under weight and holds the bag's shape even after months of use. Compared with wooden bases, it's lighter and easier to work with, without compromising stability.
The rectangular shape is especially popular for roomy bags and shoppers: it offers more interior space than oval bases of the same length and is better suited to modern, minimalist designs. The pre-punched holes save you time and ensure neat results from the very first try.
🎨 What you can make
This base is perfect for medium-sized structured bags: shoppers for groceries or work, everyday shoulder bags, rigid clutches for elegant evenings, and storage baskets for the home. The rectangular shape also lends itself to creative projects such as desk organizers, rigid makeup bags and decorative containers.
👩🎨 Who it's for
This base is suitable for beginners and experienced makers alike. The pre-punched holes make assembly easy, even if you've never made a bag before: simply work through the holes in order for a reliable result. More experienced makers will appreciate the stable foundation for experimenting with complex stitches and yarn combinations.
It's popular with hobbyists making bags for personal use, as well as artisans who sell their creations: the faux leather's professional finish enhances the finished piece and supports a higher selling price than bags made with inexpensive base materials.
