 Description
This teardrop shaped bag is designed to distribute the weight over your back and hip to reduce your weight load by 30%. Three outer secure pockets, a full length zipper for entry. A multi-pocketed interior will keep you organized. Plus each is unique with handwoven huipile fabric on both sides offset by a dark blue fabric. Made by Ruth and Nohemi. (17"Hx9"Wx5"W base)
Feature: BB22
  • The Ruth and Nohemi group began as a widows and orphans group. They started with a grant to buy 100 chickens. With the surplus money from selling eggs they bought thread and started to weave. A local minister was a part-time tailor and he taught the boys to sew after school and the project grew out of this. We help them get their products to the U.S. where they can get a fair wage for what they make.

    Awesome bag!
      I bought one of these a couple of years ago and I love it! It holds a lot of stuff, but doesn't strain my back. It also gets lots of compliments.
