spiral patterns

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.

This brilliant chartreuse and yellow spiral print shawl is the creation of Vinita in Thailand. Using natural Thai silk with its rich texture, she dyes the fabric by hand so that each shawl is one-of-a-kind.

Drawing its soul from the ancient art of bogolan, this cotton tote bag by Ghana’s Erica Yeboah translates the spirit of the traditional Malian dyeing technique into a fresh, modern design. Intricate motifs echo the iconic symbols born from fermented mud and plant extracts, rendered across a creamy off-white canvas in mustard yellow, amber orange and deep indigo, bold enough to stop a conversation and generous enough to hold everything that starts one. A zippered back pocket keeps your valuables tucked and secure, while the roomy, fully lined interior zips open to house every essential needed with ease.
