Juana Maria’s Story of Hope "Weaving was always a part of my family, my mom was a wonderful weaver and my dream from a young child was to sell my own creations. My favorite part is creating inks, cause nature is unpredictable and at the same time marvelous. In my community, we are all artisans, my group of artisans is always helping and teaching other artisans to develop their skills and give them the opportunity to work with us to have a better income and a better life. My business started to grow and all the artisans, mainly women, noticed this in their income. Trades of Hope has opened a door to the international trade of our products and we are so grateful for that. Every new customer that we get and every new order that they make take us closer to achieving our dreams."

This bag is absolutely beautiful and the perfect travel companion! Awesome size and I love that the interior is wipe-able!!
Can't wait to try it out on a trip
I don't know what I did before I bought this bag. Besides being drop-dead gorgeous pattern, the fact that this pouch is lined with plastic makes it so versatile. I usually keep it in my tote to go to the lake to use for wet items like a swimsuit. I got it out to use to pack for a trip and put my makeup brushes and liquid items in it just to be sure nothing ugly got on anything it wasn't supposed to. It worked great!!
I highly recommend buying this bag.
I took this with me on vacation, and it was perfect for storing my lotion and makeup! I didn’t spill anything, but I love the plastic lining that can be wiped clean! I would highly recommend it as a gift for you or someone else!
What a great bag! I love the size, color and especially the waterproof inside! I can use it for so many things! Make up, travel, wet items and great gift for new mamas!
