work handbag

Black and white geometric motifs evoke the renowned stone mosaic work in Mitla, a archaeological site in Oaxaca. They adorn a trendy cross-body handbag in crimson. By Marco Bautista, it is crafted of wool, woven by hand on a traditional Zapotec handloom. The purse is lined in black and opens to reveal a roomy inner pocket, and the black leather strap is adjustable in length.

A symbol of old Siam, elephants are a favorite in Thailand. This cheerful pachyderm is intended to bring good luck. Painted by hand, it adorns a generous front pocket on a cotton sling tote. By Jiap Rojjana, the bag is fully lined and an inner pocket with zipper keeps small items handy. Both the outer pocket and the purse close with coconut shell buttons.

Because each is an individual work of embroidery art, colors and motifs may vary slightly according to the artisan's inspiration.

Handwoven of wool by Marco Bautista, this wristlet makes for the perfect companion on a night out. The artisan works in the style of Zapotec art, accentuating the poppy-colored bag with stripes and a cross design. It can be held with a removable leather strap, and opens with a zipper to reveal a lined interior.
