Story Behind the Art:
The San Juan Weaver's Group is made up of Tz'utujil women who weave using backstrap Ikat, an ancient labor intensive technique of hand tying and dying threads in elaborate patterns. Their style of weaving uses textured cotton thread which softens with each washing.

I love purses and have bought several of the NOVICA and am happy to have this one as part of my "collection". While it is not a large purse, it does hold my wallet, checkbook, and planner easily. My only complaint may be that it is sewn in a circle shape on the bottom so it's not one everything will fit squarily in. The strap is just long enough for me to be able to wear it cross body and I like that it is lightweight. The material seems durable and it is well put together. I've been carrying it on a daily basis for a month with no tears or any problems.
The way this bag was pictured made the impression of it being much bigger and deeper. It is very small and I do not feel it is comfortable. The closure is not secure. The reason I kept it is because the poor women in S.A. made them handmade to support themselves. I might be able to give it to a young girl who it would feel large for. I was totally disappointed.
