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.

This bag fits almost every size Tarot deck, including larger sized ones like the 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 Deluxe...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.

This bag is very nice, you can keep two tarot decks at the same time, is gold on the inside, and it is just amazing.

Looks great on screen but the pouch is/was cheaply made. Fell apart as I opened the bag it came in. The gold accents on the pull strings are held together by fabric glue. Additionally, the material is a bit stiff which wasn't all that gentle on the cards. Needless to say - I returned it.
