Indigo Blue Mini Basket Bag
A limited-edition design handmade in collaboration with our friends Magdaleno and Hacer Común in Oaxaca, Mexico. The idea was a mini version of a big market tote. Our handwoven straw bag has hard circular shoulder straps, and a vegan leather & real pearl beaded abacaxi monogram charm. The removable charm accessory can also be taken off the bag and used as a keychain or other adornment.
Available here in a bright blue, and in pink and natural exclusively at Shopbop.
Magdaleno’s process goes way beyond weaving the bag. After harvesting and treating the straw, picked in the land surrounding his mountaintop studio, he dyed, braided, and meticulously sewed each strand into this shape.This type of basket-weaving is done by braiding 3 strands and sewing the braids continuously in a circular fashion.
