I snagged this colorful bag in the Chichicastenango Sunday market. It is typical of Guatemala’s weaving genius.  The bag of many colors! The cotton yarn is woven on a backstrap loom. So many uses: market bag, tote bag, shopping bag, travel bag, beach bag.  You get the idea!  Use it anywhere and anytime. The bag body measures 16″ square, and the straps measure 31″ end to end where they connect to the bag.

Guatemala on your mind? Come with us on our late January 2026 textile tour. Just a few places available.
