A palette of chocolate, berry and aubergine hues adds a modern aura to this marvelous creation handwoven by artisans of the K'amolon K'i K'ojonel Association from Guatemala. Using cotton and rayon made from bamboo, they transform a traditional design into a trendy poncho embellished with fringes for a unique look.

Crafted from luxurious silk and adorned with meticulously hand-woven geometric patterns in a gorgeous palette of purple, pink, brown, yellow, green and white, this shoulder bag is an absolute showstopper. The brass strap, clasp and fixtures lend an air of sophistication and since the strap can be easily removed, it is a versatile accessory that can transition from day to night effortlessly. Perfectly sized for your phone, cosmetics, credit cards and other essentials, this bag presented by Thailand’s Sansanee Krasae is also practical enough to double as a wallet by removing the strap.

Traditional elephant and paisley motifs adorn this lovely creation from Thailand. With a printed pattern exuding the elegance of the region, Keawpankanlaya's cotton tote bag is also masterfully crafted with generous space, a lightweight design and a handy interior pocket, making it a versatile piece for the everyday. As a hidden message, the purple hue symbolizes magic.

This splendid scarf made with a baby alpaca blend will be a wonderful addition to your closet in the wintertime as it is a very versatile accessory to complement your looks. Designers Raquel and Gregor from Peru create the striped scarf in crimson, lavender, stone and coal-black, which is hand-woven on artisan pedal looms.

Versatile with lightweight warmth, this reversible alpaca-blend cloak is great for travel in changeable climates. Modeled after the Andean ruana, a traditional style of draped cloak, its pattern of flowers in boysenberry-purple and burgundy is inspired by the wildlife of the Peruvian mountainside. The generous attached scarf and button front keep you warm when winds pick up.
