Handmade Black, Yellow and Off-White, Striped Shoulder Bag, made in Peruvian Amazon
These durable shoulder bags made from sustainably harvested chambira palm fiber were hand-crocheted by a native artisan from the Peruvian Amazon. Take your laptop to a coffee shop, shop in a outdoor market or tote your towel, good book and suntan lotion to the beach in these lightweight, easy to wear, roomy, multipurpose bags. This simple but elegant pattern features single bands of black and yellow stripes with "shirui", a knit design stitch. The bag is 13.5 x 12 inches.
A tag lists the artisan's name and community and the plants they used to make it. Please note that each handmade bag may vary from the photo shown.

Support native artisans & rainforest in the Amazon

Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
