Details

The Villavicencio family of Guatemala cultivates the only remaining cotton farm in the country, where they focus on quality from seed to finished product. The brown- and ivory-hued cotton in this roomy bag isn't dyed - they're natural variations of the raw cotton. An adjustable belt gives it shape, and three interior pockets, including a zip pocket that runs the length of the bag, keep you organized on day trips and every

day. Cotton with leather and brass trim.

The Villavicencio family cultivates cotton in several natural colors – jade, brown and ivory, or raw cotton. In fact, people are surprised to learn that no dyes are used. The family is involved in the entire process, from growing the cotton, to weaving it and transforming it into this handbag.
