Super-soft leather with a splendid textile accent, Intertwined's roomy tote is sustainably made from soft, but sturdy leather and a second-hand huipil, a traditional blouse worn by Mayan women in Guatemala. Cuero Malec, a Guatemalan leather shop, recycles these huipiles by transforming them into gorgeous, durable artisan bags.
