Ceci Tote (Blue)

$125 USD
Color: Blue

Are you looking for a lightweight, durable, go-everywhere tote or laptop bag? The Ceci Tote features a modern take on the traditional diamonds weaving patterns in Chiapas and leather handles with a buckle accent. Lined in white cotton muslin with an interior zip pocket and 100% cow leather handles.  Measures 17" h x 15" w x 2.5" g.  The fabric for this bag was woven on a pedal loom by Josefa, with help from her daughter Ceci, in Nachig, Chiapas. The bag was assembled in an ethical factory outside of Mexico City. Each bag provided 2 days of fair work to women in Mexico. The sale of each bag provides a week of life skills mentoring for adolescent indigenous girls through the Catrinka Girls Project.

We pride ourselves in building up economies and communities in need by working with artisan workshops, paying our artisans fairly and pricing our products fairly as well.

About the Brand
