This breezy cotton bag features drawstring straps that allow it to be carried as a tote or backpack for added versatility. Artisans in Guatemala handweave the soft stripes to create a pattern that looks great at the beach or around town.
Spot clean with cool soapy water. Do not machine wash.
This piece is made by Artisans in Guatemala, most of whom are women. Because of the portability of their projects, the women are able to work almost anywhere, from their homes to the local market. This flexibility allows them to become breadwinners for their families while being able to care for their young children at home.
In Guatemala, young girls grow up watching their mothers and grandmothers create traditional crafts by hand. To make our jewelry, Artisans use glass beads and tiny looms to create intricate designs. For our handcrafted woven fabrics, women use natural dyes whenever possible. They boil local flowers, berries, and bark to create styles that are both beautiful and eco-friendly.
