This preppy twist on classic plaid skirt will look fantastic with lady-like heels and even cooler with a pair of grungy combat boots. Cristina Villalobos designs it in a maxi length with a side slit in a pink, light blue, and navy plaid pattern. Pair it with a simple tank top for summer or a warm turtleneck sweater and tights for winter. The cool cotton blend knit makes it a great pick for travel.

Cristina's work draws inspiration from traditional Peruvian techniques and materials, contemporary styles, and retro glamour. She is currently juggling working as a designer with finishing school and raising her son.

Working on a backstrap just as generations of Maya weavers have done, Petrona Perez and the Women Artisans Association transform red cotton into a pair of cushion covers. Geometric motifs in pink, grey and ivory border the front of the pair, and an opening at the back permit insertions of the cushions.

Crafted from luxurious silk and adorned with meticulously hand-woven geometric patterns in a gorgeous palette of purple, pink, brown, yellow, green and white, this shoulder bag is an absolute showstopper. The brass strap, clasp and fixtures lend an air of sophistication and since the strap can be easily removed, it is a versatile accessory that can transition from day to night effortlessly. Perfectly sized for your phone, cosmetics, credit cards and other essentials, this bag presented by Thailand’s Sansanee Krasae is also practical enough to double as a wallet by removing the strap.

Intricate geometric patterns frame a stunning floral-inspired motif on this hill tribe cotton and natural fiber bag from Thailand’s Kunlaya Pangsiri. It is trimmed with a vibrant hot pink woven band decorated with delicate floral designs, adding an unexpected pop of color that makes heads turn. The reliable rattan reed handles ensure comfortable carrying through busy days and whimsical tassels with tiny wooden beads provide the perfect finishing touch. Inside, the fully lined interior features a practical zippered pocket for organizing essentials, all protected by a secure zippered closure that keeps everything in place. This boho chic bag bridges cultures while delivering everyday functionality with unmistakable style.
