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. All of the roses are a symbol of Love.
Please click on any of the images for a more detailed view.
The materials used on this bag are satin, crepe, lace, velvet, wool, and cotton blends. All hardware is nickle plated.
An additional detail of the roses. The larger crepe and satin roses I made by hand.
I have even adorned the bottom of the bag....sooo pretty.
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. A center divider makes organizing this larger bag a breeze. Necessities on the left, your other worldly goods on the right.
The Rahab Bag is comfortable on the shoulder to wear. Be prepared for women to stop you everywhere you go!
