Vibrant Handwoven Cotton Backpack from Guatemala, "Multicolored Brilliance"
Brilliantly beautiful, this fashionable backpack is designed by Mirian Otzin of Guatemala. She works on a traditional telar de pie, or floor loom, diligently hand-weaving multicolored designs with a predominant green hue in the style of Mayan textiles. Faux leather accentuates this backpack, which can be worn on two adjustable straps or carried by a handle. A zipper pocket on the front provides space for storing odds and ends. The bag's main flap opens with a belt buckle, revealing a drawstring closure that opens to a cotton-lined interior with a zipper pocket on one side for storing small items.

"I LOVE this!"
Mirian has out done herself. This is not only beautiful (the pictures dont do it justice), but it is crafted wonderfully as well. You can believe its beauty until you see it in person an touch it. Thank you for sharing your talents with others Mirian. Cathy
