The Lo Scarabeo Bag is a lovely black velvet pouch featuring the gold scarab symbol of the renowned Italian deck publishers. The widest part of the bag, towards the bottom, measures approximately 7 ¾ inches. Below the black satin drawstrings, the width measures about 5 ½ inches.
The inside is embroidered with gold satin, as are the cone-shaped tassels on the end.
The Lo Scarabeo bag fits almost every size Tarot deck, including larger sized ones like the DruidCraft Tarot. I could barely fit in my Rohrig Tarot, but the drawstrings did close—but not entirely (enough to keep them in safe, for sure…but the tops of the cards were quite close to the top of the bag).
All Lo Scarabeo decks will fit in this pouch, as will decks from Llewellyn and U.S. Games. Incidentally, this is the same bag that accompanies the Lo Scarabeo Tarot in the Deluxe edition...but you can also order it separately if you like the design.
You could also use this bag for oracle decks, runes, crystals, or talismans.
Very nice (and sturdy!) bag from Lo Scarabeo—especially if you like the colors black and gold, as well as the scarab symbol.

Lo Scarabeo makes some nice bags, and this is one of them. I got mine with my Lo Scarabeo Tarot deck. My bag needs a lint roller (occupational hazard when living with cats...)

I can imagine, Erin! *chuckle* I have two cats, but they can't get at my Tarot bags... ^_^
