Handwoven Upcycled Huipil Zip Purse from Chichicastenango Guatemala with Roses, Vintage Textile, Purse with Orange Tassel 9"x6.5"
The Flower Motifs used in weaving are usually the native flowers of Guatemala, like roses, lilies, violas, pansies, gladioli, and cactus flowers. All of these flowers bloom abundantly throughout the year. The Mayans view flowers as symbols of life and fertility.
Each Bag is a piece of a handwoven huipil blouse that was once worn by a Mayan woman from the Guatemalan highlands. Pieces of these treasured textiles are used to make modern bohemian clutch bags.
