Handwoven in San Andrés Larráinzar, Chiapas
Traditional Backstrap Loom • One of a Kind
Handwoven by women artisans in San Andrés Larráinzar, Chiapas, this beautiful bag is crafted using the traditional backstrap loom (telar de cintura)—an ancestral weaving technique passed down from generation to generation.
Every intricate geometric pattern is woven directly on the loom, thread by thread, requiring remarkable skill, patience, and time. Each bag takes approximately five days to weave and finish by hand, making every piece a reflection of generations of knowledge, dedication, and exceptional craftsmanship.
The vibrant colors and traditional motifs reflect the rich textile heritage of the Maya communities of Chiapas, transforming each bag into a true work of art.
No two bags are ever exactly alike. Every piece is individually handcrafted, giving it its own unique character while preserving a centuries-old weaving tradition.
