"I LOVE THIS bag!!"

I absolutely LOVE this bag!! 10 steps up from my previous leather purse. I had to get rid of everything made from leather, and searched far and wide for the perfect purse, and alas! The colors are beautiful, it is well made, and it is the absolute perfect size, shape, fabric, and length. Im considering buying it in purple magic and jade as well!

"Beautiful Colors!"

I love the colors and size of this bag, as well as the inside zipper pocket. I do wish the outside pocket had a zipper, or at least a snap (the reason I gave four stars instead of five). Of course, I also love the fact that its fair trade and non-leather. It arrived quickly, even though it was coming to the US from Guatemala.

"Gorgeous Bag!"

I purchased this bag in 04/18 and have used it daily ever since. I love it! Its the perfect size and the color is neutral enough to go with most everything. The workmanship is outstanding and it still looks brand new. I definitely would recommend this bag as a gift or for yourself.

"Quality lasts and lasts"

I have had my bamboo chenille bag for ten years or more. Still looks wonderful. The mix of colors, with a subtle translucence goes with any color I wear. I use it as a daily bag, but works well for dressier events, too. Treat yourself! You?ll love the products made from this rich, luxurious fabric.

"Exquisite"

The colours in this beautiful poncho reminds me of the beautiful bioluminescent forest from my favourite film. It is as soft as silk to the touch and the shape reminds me of folded butterfly or moth wings. Absolutely exquisite. And the fact that it is eco friendly and supports wonderful artisans and their families brings a warmth to the heart that transforms this piece from beyond wearable art to a philosophy.
