This roomy bag is flexible enough to fit everything you want to carry, but sturdy enough to handle the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Women in Guatemala weave the vibrant textiles for the Verde Tote using manual foot looms, then dye them using traditional ikat techniques, making each bag one of a kind. The bag is finished with glossy, caramel-colored leather handles and accents.
Spot clean fabric with mild soap and 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.
