handmade purses

To the beach or just to do a bit of shopping, this green plaid tote with patches of orange fringe is sure to get attention. The cotton fabric is handwoven on a backstrap loom and the straps are long enough for carrying by hand or on the shoulder. Designed by Emma Gutierrez, it is a modern interpretation of a pre-Hispanic weaving technique.
