Handmade Open Weave Shoulder Strap Bags from the Peruvian Amazon
This boho style shoulder strap bag was handwoven by artisans native to the Peruvian Amazon, with natural and durable chambira palm fiber. They are useful for carrying a laptop to a coffee shop, shopping in a outdoor market or toting your towel, good book and suntan lotion to the beach.
This bag has green, orange and purple stripes on a natural ivory chambira background, with a shoulder strap measuring 11" wide by 11 " tall. It was woven by an artisan from the Kukuama community of Amazonas on the Maranon River. It is comfortable, lightweight and the open weave design has an airy feel.
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
Amazon forest loss is driving species to extinction, aggravating global warming, and robbing people of unique medicines, foods and other benefits. 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.
