Please review the product varieties and verify availability when ordering! This is an indigenous-made product. These genuine handmade market bags are designed and sewn by the Tzotzil Mayan people of Zinacantán who produce the fabric on traditional waist looms. Zinacantán is Nahuatl for "Place of Bats" (Spanish: "Lugar de Murciélagos", Tzotzil: "Sots'leb"). Despite this name the pueblo is better known as a place of beautiful textiles. Zinacantán fabrics, including the ones on this bag, are handmade on looms in the home, typically by the women and girls of the community. The unique, contrasting, bright patterns on each side could very well be a material example of mother-daughter cooperation, embodying the perpetuation of tradition.
