This works as a very light summer purse. At first, I got a little tangled in the multi-strips of handle fabric but soon got used to it. I've got two of them. Like them during the pandemic because I can wash (sanitize) one while using the other.

Okay this bag is incredible. The plastic lining makes it the perfect make up / travel bag. I never have to worry about my foundation spilling and ruining my bag or my shampoo exploding and getting my whole suitcase wet. It’s the bag I never knew I needed. Plus the one-of-kind fabrics make this bag feel so special. I feel like I’m carrying a part of a Guatemalan woman’s story with me everywhere I go. ❤️

Our Hmong Batik Beach Tote is part of our Oases Collection, a group of beautiful items handmade with traditional batik, hand stamped in Northern Thailand by women artisans.
The making of this intricate art is done by Hmong hill tribe women of Northern Thailand. Using large copper blocks, they stamp hot wax designs onto cotton cloths. Making wax outlines allow the dye to dye only the areas without wax. The fabric and wax is then dipped in indigo and other dyes to create the beautiful color. It is then boiled to remove the wax and the final product is what you see here!
It is known when the art of batik was first practiced in Java, batik belonged only to royalty and families of wealth and position. It was a hobby for the royal woman. Aristocrats and royalty had certain designs identifying a family, social status or geographical location on the island. Many of these designs have survived to this day. Today it is believed that certain patterns have special meanings and are thought to bring the wearer good luck, wealth, prosperity, health, etc.
The bag is finished with a bright, embroidered fabric and adorned with handmade pompoms. It has a sturdy metal clip as the closure on top.
* Fully lined with two inner pockets (one zippered, one opened)
* Made following Fair Trade guidelines
* Handmade in Thailand
* Dimensions : 19"W x 11.5"H x 15"D
