Chiapas Loom-Woven Purse Mustard (L: 13cm x H: 15cm) - Chiapas, Mexico
Handwoven by Flor and her family in San Andrés Larráinzar, in the Tzotzil region of Chiapas, this small purse 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 to complete, 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.
Use it as a coin purse, card holder or trinket pouch, or clip it to a bag for a pop of colour and pattern.
Each purse by Flor and her family is a small part of that story.
