  • Handsome unisex tote bag big enough for your laptop, books and more
  • Durable black leather construction embellished with upcycled huipil panels front and back. Handmade in the Mayan Highlands of Guatemala.
  • Huipiles are traditional women's blouses that can take months to weave and bear symbols related to the maker's home village. As more women join the workforce and switch to different clothes, huipiles come on the market. I try to buy them only when used in products that will be treasured, and are designed to last a lifetime and sometimes for generations. This bag is one that will last that long.
  • It comes with with standard straps for carrying it in your hand or on your shoulder as well as a longer, adjustable, and removable strap long enough to use for cross-body wear. 
  • The bag is cleverly designs so that the former neck opening of the huipil is a deep outside pocket front and back for quick access to cell phone, keys, etc.
  • The top of the bag has a zipper the full width of the bag
  • The inside is fully lined with handwoven, ikat "corte" fabric and boasts one large zippered pocket and two smaller open pockets for quick access to frequently needed items.
  • 4 cleats protect the bottom of the bag. Only one available
