Bright Patchwork Guatemalan Mayan Tribal Shoulder Bag Hippy Satchel Travel M32
I sourced and hand selected each of these bags for Terrapin Trading, from the tribal markets in the mountainous regions of Guatemala.
This area is populated by the Mayan tribes, and the bright and beautiful colours and stripes on the bag tapestry is typical of their traditional textiles which they use frequently in their clothing and accessories.
Colourful, bright and beautiful, these bags are a small reminder of the essence of their culture and traditional artisanal craft.
This listing is for only one bag - each bag is unique as they are made from patchwork, so the gallery pic is to show how they can differ.
A random bag will be selected.
Spacious and roomy with additional pocket for extra storage.
Each Bag Is Unique - The Same Style but Different Colours / Patches - The Gallery Pictures Show 3 Examples of Our Bag - Each One Is Unique, Due to Being
Made from Individual Patches - A Random, Unique Bag Will Be Selected.
Approx Dimensions: 65 x 28 x 25 cm Has a Pocket in Front We personally sourced these from the Mayan tribal family that produced them in the mountains of Guatemala.
No middle men means fair prices for the makers.
