Product Sneak Peak...
We just received word that our new weekender bags are being shipped from Jalisco TODAY! This is exciting news.
We've combined our vibrant textiles from Chiapas, with the leather work of our skilled artisans from Jalisco to bring you an amazing bag that is perfect for overnight trips, as a carry on, or for a fun weekend.
The textiles used are hand-woven at a women's cooperative in Chiapas. Each textile is created on a loom that is anchored by the women's waist, as shown at right, and slowly woven strand by strand to ensure that the weave is tight and thus durable. Weaving is an important part of the Mayan culture in Chiapas. Most garments are hand woven and by necessity, from living in jungle like areas, are durable - lending themselves beautifully to the creation of these bags and the preservation of this art-form.
