Meticulously hand-woven from cotton, this splendid tote bag harmoniously blends style with eco-consciousness as it features patchwork accents created from upcycled fabrics that were salvaged from previous productions rather than discarded. With ample space, this delightful fully-lined bag by Guatemala's Luisa Villavicencio proves to be an ideal companion for both shopping excursions and travels.
