Sun Motif Embroidered Turquoise Cotton Cosmetic Bag, "Turquoise Sunbeams"

The sun peeks out to send fuchsia and goldenrod yellow sunbeams earthward. Talented textile artisans repeat the motif three times on this charming cosmetic bag from Guatemala's Novica Collection. The fabric is woven by hand of natural cotton and the hand embroidery is done with a punch-needle technique. A tassel adorns the zipper, the bag is fully lined, and the reverse side is plain.

If you find a loose thread or loop in the embroidery, do not pull it or cut it because you risk unraveling the embroidery. If the thread or loop is bothersome, use a needle to push it back into the base fabric.
