Women from the Pro-Teje Committee create contemporary textiles on the pre-Hispanic backstrap loom in a wonderful fusion of ancient and modern. These talented Maya women adapt traditional motifs in three shades of natural cotton – ixcaco (brown), jade, and ivory or raw cotton. This generous and versatile tote is perfect for a day of shopping. It's a very special handbag because no dyes are used, thus helping us to not harm the environment, the artisans say.
