Introducing Our New Crossbody Messenger Bags in Brown Stripes

We are very pleased to present our new crossbody messenger bags. Really, they have been the most complicated bag we have learned to make, with inside zippered pocket, a magnetic snap closure, a separating zipper to close off the interior, and a gusset! We struggled a bit in the beginning, but are proud of our results – and hope that our clients like them as well.

The fabric stripes were inspired by one of the traditional Cajolá stripes made into “servilletas” that we use for wrapping tortillas or tamales, or for carrying gifts of food to neighbors. Of course the pattern doesn’t look exactly the same because we are using less yarn in the warp and the weft.

The embroidery motif represents the woman’s womb and her unborn children, an important part of the cycle of life.

Although we designed the bags for the United States, we have been selling them here in Cajola, too.
