Description
This slim glasses pouch is worked in a dense single crochet stitch using a sophisticated colour palette of deep burgundy, soft cream and light pink. The body is divided into clean horizontal bands, with a delicate cream flower appliqué sewn onto the front. A matching burgundy tab and button provide a secure closure. The slightly padded, fitted shape protects lenses from scratches and is ideal for storing everyday glasses or sunglasses in a bag or on a dresser.

- A button tab is added at the top for closure.
- A firm, even tension helps the case keep its slim shape and protect the glasses inside.
