Handwoven on a Zapotec style loom of the 16th century adapted from European styles. Woven using a 10 threads per inch reed and wool rayon blend for warp. Design, patterns and symbols. This elegant and minimalistic design was woven by my mom Leonor when she was alive, she was just making some sample fabrics for finer threadcount. Years later, Magalí set up shop in our workshop and found this piece of fabric, transforming it into this beautiful handbag that you can take for outings and special dates. Minimalist, chic and made with much love by the mothers of Dixza workshop.
