Handbag Shoulder Bag Handmade Leather & Larrainzar Textile Maya Chiapas Mexico

Description

This is a wonderful
Leather and textile Handbag / Shoulder bag
that i just picked up on my recent trip to Chiapas.  The
Taupe,
Cream and Black Color
fabric used on this bag was made
by Tzotzil Mayan women of San Andres Larrainzar in the highlands of Chiapas Mexico.
This fabric was
woven on a
back strap loom
with geometric details
symbolizing the heavens and universe
.  The remainder of this shoulder bag is made of
leather
.  It is
not lined and has a magnetic clasp on the top flap and a zipper
closure under the flap
.
The craftspeople of Chiapas are known for their leather work... this is a
great bag and very versatile.
It measures;  10 1/4 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches tall 2 inches deep with the strap that adjusts from 43 inches to 49 inches in length.
This is a wonderful example of
Mexican Folk art, and is a very reasonable price
for the amount of work that has gone into creating it!
