Beautifully handwoven tote bag made from recycled plastic bags. Complete with firm plastic handle.

People ask us how these products are made. The weavers collect used plastic bags, wash and clean them, cut them into strips and weave them on their back-strap looms. Cotton yarns are used for the warp (to make the cloth more stable) and the strips of plastic constitute the weft. Plastic bags in Guatemala come in all the colors of the rainbow, so the women weave them combining colors, according to the bags they find in their communities
