Martha Woven Crossbody Bag

The ‘Martha’ Crossbody bag has been named after her maker, Martha, an expert weaver who lives high in the altitude in the Andean weaving village of Chinchero, Peru. 

Crafted from sheep’s wool and Alpaca yarn that has been dyed naturally from plants, fungus and flowers sourced locally in the Andean mountain ranges, ‘Martha’ is a new classic:  a traditional hand woven Peruvian textile married with a contemporary crossbody design.  

Featuring a zippered pocket to keep your precious essentials secure, and an adjustable strap, the ‘Martha’ is the ultimate wardrobe hands-free artistic statement and sure to become your new slow fashion ‘bestie’.

I love cross-body bags.  I can wax on about them forever. But finding one that warrants 'Goldilocks' seal of approval can be tricky.

Martha is the 'just right' bag.  Super light and spacious, and in tones of blue and green (have I told you how much I love blue) and with an adjustable strap, she is going to work with most items in your wardrobe.
