These Escher-y tesselated tile coin purses are named after the Palio di Siena horse race in Italy, whose teams (called contradas) compete under flags using similar graphics. They are a wonderful accessory for safekeeping credIt cards, coins, cash or small keychains. The purses are made for us by members of a women's cooperative above Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. The pouches are fully lined in cotton poplin.

Item details:

• Czech glass beads, metal frame with antique brass finish, cotton lining

• Dimensions in inches: 3.5" tall  x 3.5" wide

• To clean, sponge with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry flat.

 Our collections are entirely handcrafted and sustainably produced in Guatemala by a large network of artisans in communities across the country. We have been creating glass bead jewelry and accessories for designers, retail brands, and our own collections since 1994. In peak years we are able to purchase from up to 1000 artisans and their families, producing crafts as varied as jewelry, home décor, handbags and fashion accessories, kitchen and tabletop textiles, ceramics, and handcarved wooden accessories.
