Chiapas Loom-Woven Crossbody Bag - Pink - Chiapas, Mexico
Handwoven by Flor and her family in San Andrés Larráinzar, in the Tzotzil region of Chiapas, this crossbody bag is woven from sturdy cotton threads on a traditional telar de cintura backstrap loom — a technique passed down to Flor by her grandmother and mother.
Each piece can take days or even weeks to complete depending on its size, moving through six careful stages from preparing the warp to weaving the panels, stitching the body and adding the final details — all guided by patience, skill and deep cultural knowledge.
Each purse by Flor and her family is a small part of that story.
