I’ve been shopping at Novica for the last 4 years. I love the unique items, reasonable costs, and helping the artists make a fair profit on the goods they worked so hard to produce.

— Vandna Rani

Handmade items support artists and that makes me feel honored to have a piece of their heart.

— Julie Lynn Wasson

Handmade means the person designed and took time to create, which makes it unique and far more interesting than massmade items.

— Annette Duran

Handmade pieces feel alive — they tell a story, hold emotion, and bring warmth that no factory could ever create.

I have been shopping at Novica for years. Love that everything is handmade and that each purchase makes a difference to that artist.

Great gifts at great prices. What’s not to love — a great artisan-made gift for the same or lesser price than commercially-made, mass produced. This is better all around.

Central America Handcrafted Guatemalan worry dolls

About this Item

Guatemala's Lopez Garcia Family creates this sweet coin purse that is sure to be a conversation starter. The ivory cotton bag is embellished with a quitapena, or Guatemalan "worry doll". According to legend, the princess Ixmucané was granted the ability to solve people's problems by the Sun God. Over time, people began to make tiny dolls in remembrance of Ixmucané. They would tell the dolls their problems in the hopes that Ixmucané would solve them. The custom became very popular, and continues to this day. The coin purse is lined in cotton and features a zipper closure and a hand woven cotton tab.

A wonderfully made fantastic piece!”

I absolutely adore this and the price seems incredibly low considering how beautifully high quality it is! This amazingly lovely little purse lives in my bag daily and the gift wrapping included a fabulous extra worry doll which I also utilize. Thanks to Novica and thank you so very much to the Lopez Garcia Family for making this incredible piece!!

This coin purse is so cute and colorful!”

Once again the Lopez Garcia Family has made the cutest thing. It has a worry doll on the front and a little matching tab. Just adorable! They even made it with a snap on the worry doll so you can snap it off if you are worried, as I was, that it will get torn if you use the coin purse. A very talented family.

Colorful and cute little coin purse”

This little coin purse is such a clever small gift. It is very well made. I love the Worry Doll on it and the woven cloth shaped like a flower behind her. The doll is the largest and best looking worry doll I have ever seen.

Adorable”

The care in the presentation of these little angels when you take them out of the package is one of the best I have ever received. I would encourage peoole to send as gifts based on that alone, but the ornaments themselves look amazing on your tree!
