Teresa Burnt Orange Hand Stamped Leather Tote

Sale Price:$45.00 Original Price:$75.00

Handmade in Teopisca Chiapas this bag was hand stamped and stitched. The heritage grade leather is perfect for a bag that will live with you for many years to come. The Tsostil Mayan who craft the leather bags are part of a legacy of leather workers in the highlands and we work directly with a Tsostil family at the Santo Domingo market to bring these bags to you.

Chiapas is one of the top producing regions of cacao in modern day Mexico as it has been traditionally for thousands of years. As chocolate makers we have had the honor to produce Fortuna chocolate with this very special legacy crop and are excited to share additional items crafted by indigenous community in Chiapas.

The Santo Domingo market in San Cristóbal De Las Casas is a sprawling labyrinth of tarps and stalls selling handmade art. Situated on the steps of a large colonial church, indigenous Mayan artisans from the highland regions sell the art made in their communities as well as items crafted on site at the marketplace. Each item is unique and you can expect variations as a testament to the presence of a human hand in each piece.

Size: 12.5” x 14” x 4.5”
