These small bags have a long strap; one partially lined compartment with a buttoned flap closure, and measure 7.5" x 8.5". Many products such as these bags are made from recycled clothing hand-woven and worn by the Mayan people. The central panel is from a woman's blouse or huipíl, while the front "frame" and the backside are from dress material with ikat patterns. Buying them provides a source of extra income since it creates an outlet for people to sell their used clothing and stimulates them to continue weaving and wearing their native costume.
