This handcrafted piece is woven on a traditional Zapotec pedal loom by Anna, a master weaver whose family has lived and woven on their ranch in the valley for more than 170 years. Her artistry reflects one of the most respected textile traditions in Oaxaca.
Made from hand-spun natural wool, the bag combines earthy, ancestral colors created using pericón (Mexican marigold) blended with indigo, along with the natural gray tones of local sheep’s wool. The result is a deep, rich green textile that carries the beauty of the land where it was born.
This piece is handmade and woven on a traditional pedal loom using hand-spun natural wool. Its colors come from pericón (Mexican marigold) and indigo, blended beautifully with the natural gray wool of local sheep. The design features an embroidered Zapotec arrow symbol, historically used to represent hunting, direction, protection, and the pathways people followed through the land. Each element reflects the ancestral dye traditions and weaving heritage of the Oaxacan valley.
Sized at 14 × 11 inches, leather straps and a fully lined interior with a deep zippered pocket,
More than a fine purse, it is a piece of heritage art—a reflection of Chavez family mastery, legacy, and the enduring beauty of Zapotec craftsmanship.
