Intertwined's huipil tote bag is sustainably crafted from a repurposed huipil, a handwoven blouse worn by Mayan women in Guatemala. Cuero Malec, a Guatemalan leather shop, upcycles these huipiles by creating stunning, sturdy, handmade artisan bags. It's a unique fusion of classic design and contemporary eco-fashion! The tote can be expanded with side snaps and an adjustable crossbody strap adds even more versatility. The interior is lined with handwoven fabric as well, and a top zipper keeps everything safe!

Handmade Vintage

This product is made with handmade, upcycled fabric. We believe the minor imperfections associated with vintage fabric are part of the charm and uniqueness of the item. We do our best to take photos that accurately represent the true colors and worn nature of the handwoven fabric, but colors vary across monitors, and photos can’t highlight all aspects of a product.
