One early morning I had a thought: I need a bag as reliable as a taxi meter and as beautiful as a Vormsi sunset. And so Whipped-Cream Viivika was born, with a burgundy flap and a vanilla-cream body, a completely hand-crocheted bag made from strong 5 mm braided polyester cord. The ribbed flap holds its shape while the body remains soft yet durable.
The name arrived all by itself the moment I fastened the final stitch and looked at the finished bag. It reminded me of cherry jam with whipped cream, hence Whipped-Cream Viivika. Feminine and practical at the same time, like a balance between sweet and strong. Every stitch in Viivika is a knot between stillness and energy.
🧵 What did I use?
- Material: 5 mm braided polyester macramé cord
- Finished size: approx. 25 × 30 cm for the bag body
- Handle length: 30 cm including rings
- Fastening: black metal clasp
✨ What makes Viivika special?
- 100% handmade in Estonia – made with care and love.
- Two-tone character – like cherry cake with whipped cream, only calorie-free 😉
- Strong and flexible – holds more than it looks as though it should.
- Boho details – metal rings and a copper-toned clasp add a little shine.
💬 My little story
I fastened the final stitch and the clasp clicked shut. My first thought:“This bag needs a name.”And so she becameWhipped-Cream Viivikabecause the burgundy flap looks like cherry jam and the pale body like whipped cream. This is one of those bags you do not put away in a cupboard. You leave it on a chair simply because it is nice to look at. If you feel Viivika belongs in your wardrobe, you know where to find her. 💜
🧵 Every knot counts, especially according to Maimu!
