How They Are Made:

The backstrap loom is a traditional looming technique in Mexico, allowing the weaver to brocade intricate designs into the fabric as it is woven. One of the main advantages of this technique is that it grants the weaver complete control over their work. Even small adjustments can result in variations in the fabric's texture.

To maintain the quality of the tote, it is recommended to either dry clean or hand wash it, followed by hanging it to dry. Please note that washing may cause slight shrinkage.
