Siavahda Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I'm sure a lot of you have the amazing skills to make your own bags - and I envy that a little, because that seems a wonderful way to connect to your deck - but alas, I have no such abilities, and thus must shop. So for those of you who buy your tarot bags - where do you get them from? I'm currently looking for a bag for my Numinous and Next World decks (the latter is 4'' x 6'', so the default-sized bags are too small), and I've been browsing Etsy for days, but while there's a few I'm eyeing for the Numinous, I haven't found anything I like for the Next World yet. I was wondering where else I could look? Up until now I've always used drawstring pouches, but I've seen a few tarot wraps that look much more secure and snug (I might be a little obsessed with preventing scratches and bent corners). Does anyone with experience with both have any preference?
Flaxen Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I usually get bags from Tarot Sulis, Baba Studio and recently, our very own Pathwalker from the forum. A lot of independent makers will make a bag to the size you need if the standard size isn’t quite right. Some make-up bags also work quite well for tarot cards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

DanielJUK Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I'm not sure about wraps, but etsy and some of the studios and publishers actually have matching bags with decks now, Ciro often does that now. Great tips from Flaxen, lot's of forum people make them themselves PathWalker[/member] makes beautiful things, this is her site for bags and things here she can even make one to your own specifications. Sulis[/member] from AT is having a bit of a break from forums but still has her bag and reading cloth site going, it's here I've bought quite a few bags and a reading cloth from Sulis, they were perfect and wonderful! I have always wanted to buy something from Pathwalker and support her and one day I shall :)
PathWalker Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Thank you both for the mention :) Yes I do make bespoke bags as well as having a small selection of one-off designs always for sale - happy to receive a message here on the forum if anyone is interested. PathWalker
Venus Rising Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I've purchased all of my bags and reading cloths from the lovely folks over at Tarot Totes and from Baba Studios. I cannot say enough good things about both businesses. <3
RavenOfSummer Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Great discussion! I love knowing where to get bespoke bags, since a lot of my decks are large and non-standard size. I have a couple of decks currently that are still in need of homes.
