Meet the Nab'alam bag: a cross-body conversation starter and a wearable, handmade piece of art to channel your inner jaguar, and add a piece of Mayan Mexico to your everyday.
Nab'alam Cross-body Bag
Jaguars are a powerful spirit animal for Mayan people. They represent wisdom, beauty, strength and spiritual power.
The Nab'alam cross-body beauty is a one-of-a-kind and one-off piece of wearable art, like all the pieces in my Kristy meets collection.
Made by a Mayan artisan whom I met on my journeys into the magical highland villages of Chiapas, Mexico, this is a bag destined to make a slow fashion statement in your wardrobe and awaken your inner power.
Make like a jaguar and wear it with all black, or create some office magic and wear it with a two-piece suit in a sweet candy-coloured hue.
Note: This is an authentic, precious handmade tribal item that comes with it's handmade quirks, which makes it special. It also smells faintly like wood fire as Mayan artisanas live in traditional mudbrick abodes and burn wood fires.
