Description
Alegría Bag
A joyful statement piece made to bring a little color and alegría to your everyday. Each bag is handwoven in Oaxaca from natural palm fiber, with colorful woven details that make every piece feel special. Finished with 100% genuine leather handles, metal hardware, and a snap closure, it is roomy enough for everyday essentials while still feeling polished and easy to carry.
Handwoven in Oaxaca by Isabel Hernández Arenas and her family workshop, where palm weaving has been passed from one generation to the next. Isabel learned the craft from her mother as a child in Santa María Texcatitlán, Oaxaca. Each bag is woven by hand, shaped and steamed for strength, then finished with leatherwork using skills brought to the family by her husband, whose family comes from the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca.
Because each piece is made entirely by hand, slight variations in color, weave, shape, and finish are to be expected. We think of these small imperfections as part of the beauty of handmade work: a reminder of the hands, tradition, and story behind every bag.

Care
Your Palma bag is made from natural palm fiber and genuine leather, so a little care will help it age beautifully.
Keep your bag dry and avoid prolonged exposure to water or moisture. If it does get wet, gently blot with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat or prolonged sun exposure, which can dry or fade the natural fibers and leather.
To clean the palm, use a soft, dry cloth or a lightly damp cloth for small spots. Do not soak or machine wash. For the leather, wipe gently with a soft cloth and use a leather conditioner sparingly as needed.
When not in use, store your bag in a cool, dry place and avoid crushing it under heavier items so it can maintain its shape.
Because each bag is handmade from natural materials, slight changes in color, texture, and shape over time are part of its character.
Design
Each bag was designed by artisans and crafted by hand.
