bright colored bags

Inspired by the classic textiles of the Comalapa region in Guatemala, Mirian Otzin designs this stylish backpack. She works on a traditional telar de pie, or floor loom, diligently handweaving bright geometric motifs on an ivory base hue. Faux suede 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, and the main flap opens with a belt buckle, revealing a drawstring closure that opens to a cotton-lined interior equipped with a zipper pocket.
