Handwoven Shoulder Bag - Aquamarine & Grey
Handwoven Shoulder Bag - Aquamarine & Grey
Discover the beauty of traditional Mexican craftsmanship with this handwoven shoulder bag. Crafted by skilled artisans from a small Zapotec community in the southern highlands of Mexico's Oaxaca Valley, each bag is a unique piece of wearable art.
Using the traditional backstrap loom technique, passed down through generations, these artisans create intricate patterns with raised threads, resulting in a beautifully textured feel that sets these bags apart. The backstrap loom, a simple yet ingenious tool consisting of sticks, rope, and a strap worn around the weaver's waist, allows for incredible precision and detail in the weaving process.
This shoulder bag not only serves as a practical accessory but also as a testament to the enduring artistry of the Zapotec people. Its design seamlessly blends traditional motifs with contemporary functionality, making it perfect for everyday use or as a statement piece for special occasions.
