The Huipil Weekender Tote skillfully combines two textile heritage products from Guatemala. Vintage huipil, a garment worn by Mayan women, features woven geometric patterns, florals, with a mix of beading, embroidery, and appliqué. Vegetable tanned, sustainably sourced leather accents the bag. Hand assembled by master craftsmen, each bag is one-of-a-kind and filled with personality! Which one suits you?
Produced by CUERO MALEC, a leather shop in Samayac founded by Lorenzo Xum Ortiz. Lorenzo began working with leather when he was ten years old, and now he employs around 10 to 15 people in his shop. He and his team are skilled at using leather to transform second-hand clothing, including traditional Guatemalan huipiles, into beautiful purses, bags and other leather items.
