Stunning by design, this A-shaped handbag makes for the perfect accessory for any occasion! The oversized leather grip makes a dramatic statement, contrasting with the beautifully hand-woven textile of the body. This handbag is part of a very special collection that incorporates textiles from the Shipibo tribe in the Amazon. The women of the Shipibo tribe pass the weaving tradition down along generations.
On this particular handbag, the kené (the intricately embroidered pattern) is dominant on the front, with an additional small strip weaving from front-to-back. Kené is the Shipibo tribe's code. They do not consider it art, but instead, the recording of "the music of the jungle" woven through observation. There is no template or plan the women follow as each is a unique song.
A beautiful piece that makes for a truly unique and thoughtful gift.
