Upcycled Mayan Corte Tote Bag | Handmade Fair Trade Market Bag - Guatemala

A bag with a past, a purpose, and plenty of room for whatever your day throws at you.

Our Upcycled Mayan Corte Tote Bag is handmade by artisan Laura in the highlands of Guatemala using traditional woven cortes — the beautiful skirts worn by Mayan women throughout Guatemala. By giving these textiles a new life, Laura transforms pieces of Guatemalan textile tradition into colorful, functional bags made to be carried and loved again.

And because upcycled textiles are the star here, the colors and woven patterns vary from bag to bag. Choose the one that speaks to you — each has its own personality.

Generously sized at 16" x 16.5", this is one of those grab-it-and-go totes you'll actually use. Carry it as an everyday shoulder bag, market tote, work bag, travel companion, or roomy carryall for your laptop and daily essentials.

The bag is fully lined and includes an interior pocket, giving the beautiful woven exterior the practical construction it deserves.

Best of all, your purchase supports Laura's artisan work in Guatemala and Lumily's commitment to Fair Trade, traditional craftsmanship, and creating new possibilities for handmade textiles.
