spring purses

The spirit of the Guatemalan spring season resides in this gorgeous creation by the Aj Quen association. This team of talented artisans draws inspiration from the diverse scenes that characterize these flourishing days, motivating them to add an embroidered floral pattern to this cotton sling in blue, green and ivory hues. Finished with zippered compartments and a comfortable braided strap, the bag features a chic jonquil upper stripe reminiscent of the sunny days in the region.

Spring blesses your frugal side in this set of two cotton coin purses by Mexico's Luz Gonzalez and the Women's Artisan Association. Embroidered flowers decorate this zippered pair, woven in a royal blue hue as a symbol of enchantment.

Embroidered by hand, stars form a dazzling pattern on a cotton sling tote. The motifs cover a generous front pocket. By Jiap Rojjana, the bag is fully lined and an inner pocket with zipper keeps small items handy. Both the outer pocket and the purse close with coconut shell buttons.

Because each is an individual work of embroidery art, colors and motifs may vary slightly according to the artisan's inspiration.
