On this simple yet striking bag, a traditional CORTE pattern provides the background for a shimmering beaded flower. The pattern is handwoven from 100% cotton, while the flower gets its sparkle from seed beads and various sizes of faceted beads. This colorful accent is a great way to enhance your everyday style!
The shoulder bag is crafted from repurposed fabric, reflecting the culture of rural Guatemala and its talented artisans. Along with a crescent shape that fits comfortably under your arm, the bag features a solid interior and a zip top with two zippers.

What Is a CORTE?
This bag was made from a recycled corte, a vibrant handwoven skirt worn by Guatemalan women. When these durable cortes are ready for a second life, they are hand selected from local markets, washed, and redesigned into sturdy, functional everyday bags or travel companions.
