This gorgeous Mayan Tote upcycles Mayan Huipil, the beautiful traditional blouses worn by women in Guatemala to signify which village they call home. Artisans in Guatemala handcraft this colorful, eco-friendly Mayan Tote design from genuine leather and upcycled huipil to make this ethically made tote bag. Each bag is one of a kind, as the front features a geometric patterned patch of Huipil that varies in colors and slight pattern variations that are unique to each woman’s village.

Lined with 100% cotton, this Mayan Tote has both interior slip pockets and a zippered pocket. The front huipil design is also a stylish, functional front pocket to keep your most essential must-haves conveniently secure. Every purchase provides safe jobs with fair wages for women in areas of extreme poverty in Guatemala.

Every bag has variations as a part of the Artisan-made charm.

The Impact of Your Purchase

As Artisans and business owners, women in rural villages are now able to feed, clothe, and pay for their children to go to school - opening doors to a brighter future for the next generation in Guatemala!Purchase this bag and empower a woman in Guatemala!
