Artisan Tote Bag

Sturdy tote bag made with beautiful handwoven textiles and luxury deadstock fabric in 100% Cotton.

Made in partnership with Cojolya, an association born in 1983 located in Santiago Atitlán, Sololá, in Guatemala. The organization works with talented Mayan-Indigenous weavers to create exceptional, complex textiles on the traditional backstrap loom.

The bag is locally produced in Barcelona, in the Centre de Promoció Social Francesc Palau, a non-profit social organization in El Prat de Llobregat that supports vulnerable communities and local residents.

The primarily textile is handwoven brocade fabric, woven in backstrap loom by Mayan-Indigenous weavers. This is one of the most complicated and time consuming fabrics to weave, and it is a very rare and unique result. It is said that those handwoven fabrics "last a life time".

In addition to our handwoven textiles, the secondary fabric is from leftover fabric rolls sourced from some of the world’s most luxurious French fashion maisons.
These high-end materials serve as the secondary fabric in our jackets, ensuring the same durability and longevity as the handwoven textiles. 


Materials and Care:

• Fabric: 100% Cotton
• Lining: 100% Cotton
  

We recommend professional dry cleaning or gently hand washing in cool water. Please handle with care and avoid rubbing the handwoven fabric.

Keep away from sharp objects, as the delicate weave may be susceptible to snags or damage.

Please note: due to the artisanal nature of this handwoven fabric, slight variations and imperfections may be present. These subtle details are not flaws—they are part of the fabric’s unique character and the story your jacket tells.
