Cotton cosmetics bag, ‘Travel Companions’

Details

Guatemala’s Lopez Garcia Family creates this wonderful cosmetics bag that is sure to be a conversation starter. The ivory cotton bag is embellished with quitapenas, or Guatemalan “worry dolls”. According to legend, the princess Ixmucané was granted the ability to solve people’s problems by the Sun God. Over time, people began to make tiny dolls in remembrance of Ixmucané. They would tell the dolls their problems in the hopes that Ixmucané would solve them. The custom became very popular, and continues to this day. The bag is lined in cotton and features a zipper closure and a fuchsia cotton tab.
