handmade sun

La Guajira is a magical Colombian region blessed by the sun, which keeps the natural landscapes illuminated for long hours, making the daylight longer. Inspired by this phenomenon, designer Lorette Menjura works with local artisans to create an acrylic coin purse featuring a colorful design in honor of the shiny Guajira sun, all made with handmade tufting techniques. The accessory also comes with a zippered closure, a little braided strap, a green pompom and a polyester lining.

Glowing like embers, this table runner depicts the traditional Zapotec diamond motif. Cool paths of blue lead across the fiery fields. Woven on the handloom, this design exemplifies the craftsmanship of the Ruiz Bazán Family. The artisans use virgin wool to create masterpieces with the essence of their culture.

Because each piece is individually woven on handlooms, measurements could vary +/- 2 inches (5 cm) (2 in).

A batik design honors the stunning jungle surrounding the glorious city of Blitar. Inspired by the region's vibrant colors and tropical sensations, Javanese artisans create this cotton tote bag that can also be folded for convenient use, all thanks to its coconut front button. On top of that, Wahyu Sulistiani's accessory has comfortable straps and a generous space, making it the perfect complement to a sunny day.
