Oaxaca Tote Bag - Blue Zigzag (Medium)

£40.00

Oaxaca Tote Bag - Blue Zigzag (Medium) - Oaxaca, Mexico

W: 40cm x H: 28cm x D: 12cm | Handle drop: approx. 27 cm

Roomy enough for a weekly shop, a beach towel or a full day out, this medium tote holds its shape when it’s full and wipes clean with a damp cloth. The twisted handles sit comfortably in the hand or over the shoulder.

Handwoven in Oaxaca by María Antonieta and Jorge from strips of recycled plastic, it’s a style you’ll see all over Oaxaca, carried to market, to work and on the school run.

Each bag takes them one to two days to weave by hand. The close diagonal weave is what sets it apart from a mass-produced version: it’s strong, it doesn’t sag, and it keeps its shape through years of everyday use.

Please note: As each bag is handmade, measurements may vary slightly.
