This bag was made by a Kankuama artisan in El César.
Before even weaving this bag, the fibers had to be extracted from the fique (agave) plant and spun by hand to create the yarn that the artisans work with. Most bags are dyed naturally from plants and trees that grow in the same community where the artisans live.
Details:
- Material: Natural Fique Fiber
- Size: 9 inches tall, 7 inches wide
- Strap length: 21 inches from shoulder to top of bag
- Washing: Spot clean only. Do NOT wash by hand or in the washing machine.
