The Patricia Interwoven Tote is zero-waste and handwoven with denim scraps on a backstrap loom.

The bag is detailed with a pop of brightly colored embroidery giving this edgy design a touch of tradition. Featuring cotton lining and an inside zip pocket, the Patricia blends time-honored techniques with innovative design. For nearly two decades, Mercado Global has transformed the lives of Indigenous women and their families in Central America.
