The Rahab Bag truly represents one of my most favorite stories from scripture. Rahab, a prostitute, living in the city of Jerico, hides the Israelite spies in her home and protects them from the king of Jerico. In return for her protection, the Israelite spies promised to protect she and her family only if, on the night that they plan to sac Jericho, she tie a crimson cord from her window. This would be a sign to the Israelites not to touch the people dwelling inside that home (Joshua 2). Rahab ultimately became a married and respected woman later on. This story is a beautiful reminder of God's grace, forgiveness and steadfast love for all.
The red scarf, prominent on all of the Rahab Bags, is symbolic of the Crimson Cord.Please click on any of the images for a more detailed view.
The materials used in that bag are satin, tweed, flannel, crocodile leatherette, suede cloth, and cotton blends. All hardware is brass.

Once again my bags are just as pretty inside as they are out. Two long pockets (on left and right of photo) are perfect for stashing away your sunglasses or cell phones. Both sides of the lining have a center slip pocket (as shown). Only one side has a 7" zipper pocket.
