This expandable hobo bag is sure to become your new best friend. Luisa Villavicencio designs it in light blue recycled cotton denim with leather handles and details. The roomy interior is lined in cotton canvas and features two pouch pockets plus a zippered one. She adds a lobster claw hook to bring in the sides and allow you to shape or expand this bag as you like. All of Luisa's creations use 100% natural cotton fibers and are completely free of dyes.
Luisa Villavicencio's father dedicated his life to cultivating and preserving the Mayan cotton species native to Central America. Her designs mix fibers from her father's cotton crops, recycled denim scraps from Guatemala's garment industry, and a unique touch, courtesy of traditional weaving techniques. She and her family are committed to running a socially and environmentally responsible business and employ over 80 artisans in their workshop.

I was very disappointed because didnt expect that this would be sold with 2 flaws from manufacturing, which shows that they dont have good quality control. This is quite expensive to received it like that. My partner has health issues so Ive not been able to return it. I never had this issue with Novica before and I have been shopping here for the last 15+ years. Other than that, the fabric and cut are nice. The material feels good to the touch. I have not used it because I plan on return it plus the flaw is quite evident.
