Product Description
These bags are a wonder. First the agave leaf (same plant mezcal and tequila come from!) is pounded to extract the strong fibers.
After they are cleaned the long fibers are selected and spun by hand to a long enough string to produce one of these bags.
These are used in Chiapas for carrying all manner of things. They are very strong and durable and expand a surprising amount laterally.
The bag itself measures 10" x 12" or 26 x 30 cm. The strap is adjustable to a max length of 31" with bag.
Feature
The bag itself measures 10" x 12" or 26 x 30 cm. The strap is adjustable to a max length of 31" with bag. These durable bags are made from natural maguey fibers (from the agave plant), making them strong, eco-friendly and long lasting.
A removable natural leather strap is knotted into the woven design, and allows for adjustment to the ideal length.
The bags can extend wide to carry all your belongings at the farmers market or beach and contract when empty for easy storage.
A stylish tote for carrying your farmers market haul. Replace your 'green bag' with this handmade beauty.
These bags originate from the Chiapas Highlands, where they were originally used to carry wood, corn and other necessities from town to town.
