textile bag

Adams Salley presents this beautiful basket tote, hand woven by Ghanaian artisans. The raffia basket is accented with woven patterns in fuchsia and teal, and finished with sturdy, leather-wrapped handles. Use the tote for shopping or the beach, or simply enjoy its beauty as a home decor accent.

Claudia Hernandez creates this colorful fuchsia clutch, which she weaves by hand. A band of pale lavender, mint green and pastel pink surrounds the center. The bag opens with a zipper, revealing a black lining. "I love these small bags, the artisan confides. "They have vibrant colors and are very useful."

Charming tangerine flowers dot a fuchsia background on this handwoven cotton wristlet. The single, lined compartment closes with a zipper. The wristlet is crafted by members of the Cojolya Association of Mayan Women Weavers, a non-profit organization located in the Tzutujil community.
