This handmade piece is a testament to the skill and tradition of Oaxacan artisans, so slight variations in color, size, and design are to be expected. Crafted entirely by hand using the traditional backstrap loom—a technique passed down through generations—artisans secure one end of the loom to a fixed point, such as a tree or post, while the other end is tied around their waist with a sash. This careful, thread-by-thread method ensures each piece carries history, artistry, and cultural charm.
Compact and versatile, it makes a perfect coin bag or credit card holder, blending everyday functionality with timeless craftsmanship.
Care Instructions:
Because each piece is handmade and often dyed using traditional methods, a little extra care will help preserve its beauty:
Wash gently by hand in cold water, or dry clean if preferred
Use a mild, natural detergent — never chlorine or bleach
Avoid wringing or twisting to protect the fibers and embroidery
Hang to dry in the shade; do not tumble dry
If ironing, use low heat and place a cloth between the iron and fabric
Please note: natural dyes may release some color during the first few washes — this is a normal characteristic of artisanal textiles.

Size Approx: 3 ½”(H) x 5”(W)
