Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca
Inspired by the collaboration carried out in 2020, this irregularly shaped handbag is made of wool woven on a pedal loom and features a subtle braided handle. The wool used to make this bag was previously dyed with natural dyes by a predominantly female group of weavers, which is unusual in the community. The name was obtained from the Zapotec word gitx which means wool, the spelling was verified in the Zapotec Dictionary of Teotitlán del Valle.
The Gitx Bag has two versions, one in neutral tones and another with color, each version uses three different shades. It includes a protective sachet in muslin inside.
