Handmade Open Weave Striped Double Strap Bags from the Peruvian Amazon
These boho style double strap bags were 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. The main model is 12.5 x 12 x 4 with green, red and white stripes made by a Bora artisan from the village of Brillo Nuevo on the Ampiyacu River. This bag 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.
