Handmade Central American Cotton Tote Bag, "Blue Birds of Toliman"
Colorful birds evoke the traditional huipil blouses worn in San Lucas Toliman. Embroidered by hand, they grace a deep blue shoulder bag of handwoven cotton. Mirian Otzin works on a backstrap loom, adding bright pompoms and an inner zipper pocket to the tote.

I was so happy to receive this beautiful backpack! The craftsmanship is fantastic and the colors are so vibrant. I absolutely love it! It is a good size and has plenty of room to hold all my belongings. The pocket in front is spacious enough and the interior pocket is great for your smaller items. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a great looking backpack. Mirian Otzin, you are truly a talented artisan!
