Unique Cotton Cosmetics Bag with Worry Dolls, "Travel with Friends"
Guatemala's Lopez Garcia Family creates this charming cosmetics bag that is sure to be a conversation starter. The ivory cotton bag is embellished with quitapenas, or Guatemalan "worry dolls". 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 bag is lined in cotton and features a zipper closure and a sassy blue tassel.

My seven year old granddaughter loves little figures and these delighted her. I gave them to her a few days before Christmas so she could hang them on the tree if she wanted and she yelled Best present ever!
