shoulder bag, 'Crimson Wilderness'
Radiant in red, this shoulder bag's florid motifs originate from the textile art of the Lahu hill tribe. Lahu women have improved their weaving skills on back straps and on foot looms - their work is distinguished by having the pattern solely appear on one side of the cloth. Finished with braided tassels, the bag features a zipper closure. 100% cotton.
