This first bag is called Iguana, after an iconic image I have loved deeply for many years by

Graciela Iturbide titled Nuesta Séñora de la Iguana, 1979, taken in Juchitan, Oaxaca.

The Tehuana Night Pouch was created with the glorious traditional pleated lace headdress worn by women in the Isthmus region of Oaxaca,

Mexico in mind. In particular asfer the iconic image made by Edward Weston in 1926 titled Rosa Covarrubias In Tehuana Dress.

‘Cocodrilo’s’ shape was inspired by Graciela Iturbide’s photograph “Cocodrilo” taken in Oaxaca in 1995.
The hand pleated silk emulates a Crocodile’s wide spiny back, and the natural dyes reptilian in color feel like a textured second skin.

These are one of a kind bags made with hand pleated silk and natural dyes, made with antique and vintage textile linings, and strap or drawstring closure.

A portable little sculpture, just the right to fit a phone, lipstick and keys, worn as a wristlet.

Color: Natural Dyes, shades of green and grey with deep purple accents
