Handwoven wild palm bag — Guerrero, Mexico.
Handwoven by Paulino in Tlamacazapa, a Nahua community in the mountains of Guerrero, this strawberry-shaped bag is made from wild palm using a traditional knot-weaving technique passed down through generations.
Each piece reflects the artistry and patience of a craft that involves carefully soaking, softening and weaving the palm by hand, an intricate process that speaks to Tlamacazapa's deep bond with the natural world and its people's commitment to keeping their ancestral craft alive.
It takes Paulino around four hours to complete each bag. Through his skill and imagination, he continues to transform natural fibres into playful works of art that radiate character and joy.
Each one is slightly unique — dimensions may vary slightly as every piece is handmade.
