Costa Rican artisan Higinia Gonzalez handcrafts a pair of attractive cosmetic bags. The cotton fabric is handwoven on a backstrap loom using time-honored techniques with thread hand dyed by the artisan. Using all natural dyes, the artisan chooses burnt sienna for the background and black, pale lavender, and cornsilk yellow for the bands of stripes. The main compartment for each case is lined in Caribbean blue cotton and secures with a zipper sporting a tassel, black for the larger case and light blue for the smaller case. Each case also has a handle made of twisted burnt sienna thread.
