Design Rope Bag Handle

The shopping bag model is finished in my current Blender scene; the only element missing is its rope handle. I need that handle built directly inside the same .blend so it slips seamlessly through the two eyelets already in place, loops upward into a comfortable grip, and exits on the opposite side with a short ornamental tail.

Key details you’ll want to follow
• Rope path: it passes through both metal eyelets, forms a decorative outer knot on each side, arches over the top to create the hand-grip, then hangs a small dangle beneath the bag.
• Knot style: decorative (not just a single or double hitch).
• Thickness: medium—keep the rope’s diameter somewhere in the 1 cm – 2 cm range at real-world scale.

The bag is real-scale, so the handle must match proportionally. Use whatever workflow you prefer—curve + array, geometry nodes, or carefully modeled mesh—but please leave the modifiers non-destructive so I can tweak length and strand count later. A believable rope material with UVs laid out for easy texture swapping is essential; procedural or baked is fine as long as it looks like natural fiber when rendered in Cycles.

Deliverables
1. Updated .blend containing the finished rope handle, modifiers intact.
2. Any custom textures or node groups used.
3. Brief note on how to adjust length or knot tightness.

Once I can drop the file into my pipeline and render a close-up without artifacts, we’re done.
