Our Small Joyabaj Handbag has been handcrafted from colorful huipils in Guatemala. A huipil (wee-peel) is a traditional blouse worn by Mayan women in Guatemala, and to the knowledgeable observer, it identifies her village, social and marital status, religious background, wealth, and individual personality. A well-woven huipil can last 20 to 30 years before it's sold at the market and starts a second life as a rag, quilt, or handbag.

Measures 14" high x 13" wide
Magnetic clasp closure
Available in Black, Red, Black/White, or Red/White

Due to their recycled nature, no two handbags are exactly the same. Handmade in Guatemala and fair trade imported.
