Handwoven Shoulder Bag from Colombia, "Ancestral Lands"
Artisans of the Zenu Community, an ancient culture of northwest Colombia, weave this fantastic shoulder bag. The generously sized bag is crafted from caña flecha fibers, a neotropical grass native to Colombia and Mexico. Only natural dyes are used to color the fibers in shades of terracotta, black and off-white. The fully lined bag closes with a zipper and features an interior zipper pocket.

"Love it!"
This hat is so beautiful and well made. I love the circular design and it fits me perfectly. It comes in handy here in Arizona where we get a lot of sun. Thank you to the Zenu Community for a fine product!

"Gorgeous and Sophisticated"
Love, love the sun hat. It is a perfect union of both sophistication and utility. It is elegant, and it shades well without weight. So flexible that I can fold it several times and tuck into my tote and, when needed, it immediately returns to its shape, proving its high quality weaving craftsmanship.
