Before we know it the Spring season will be upon us and a beautiful printed tote bag is an essential piece for your Spring and Summer wardrobe. One of our newest lines is from Mercado Global and their hand-woven bags are something special and will add a pop of color to your look.
Each piece is made by artisans in the highlands of Guatemala and their craftsmanship is impeccable. The company empowers rural indigenous Mayan women to break the cycle of poverty by connecting them to international markets, fostering sustainable livelihoods for their families, and pioneering a socially responsible business model within the fashion industry. Since its inception in 2004, Mercado Global has impacted the lives of over 400 women throughout more than 40 communities in the rural highlands of Guatemala. So cool!
We have a variety of printed tote bags with Mercado’s signature pom poms and leather ties. We also have a great overnight travel tote, some cute crossbody bags, and convenient clutches. The Navy and mint stripe print is our favorite! If you love a nice tote bag and appreciate the one-of-a-kind work of traditional artisans, come by Collections in Makawao today to see the new Spring styles from Mercado global. See you soon. Aloha!
