Our classic tote gets a major upgrade with this versatile convertible bag, featuring the modern silhouette of a single fully adjustable strap that lets you use this beauty as a comfortable shoulder bag, or as a crossbody when you need a hands-free style. Inside are three zippered pockets, two small and one large, to keep all of your essentials organized. The Chavela Shoulder Bag is just the right size to become your everyday bag. Run your errands, go for a night out, or just pack a good book and a flask of tea.

The Chavela pattern features a Zapotec diamond design in natural shades of undyed wool- gray, black, and cream. This neutral color palette will easily transition from season to season, perfect for a bag lovingly handmade to last.

Bag: 13.5” x 18” x 3.5”

Many of the traditional designs found on MZ Made bags are taken from pre-Hispanic Zapotec ruins such as Mitla and Monte Alban. Each of these symbols has a deep cultural meaning to the people who weave them. We are honored to share these beautiful designs with the world.

Each MZ Made creation is a work of art, handmade with immense love and pride. We strive to preserve the beautiful traditions and superb artistry of the Zapotec people by connecting them with socially conscious consumers around the globe.

Handmade by master Zapotec artisans Rocio + Omar in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Rocío learned the art of textile dyeing and weaving from her mother. She is a true artist who loves the creativity of creating unique patterns and combining colors in new ways. She loves getting to see her ideas become final products, and she is endlessly inspired by the natural world around her: the sunrise, the movement of birds, the colors of corn and other plants.

Your handmade item is made with premium wool, which naturally repels dirt, debris, and moisture. It requires less laundering than other fibers! Never use a washer or dryer.

For light cleaning, we suggest a cashmere brush. They are readily available online and in most craft and yarn stores.

For more intensive cleaning, we recommend eco-friendly dry cleaning.

MZ Made is a Certified B Corp and accredited Fair Trade by the Fair Trade Federation.

MZ Made celebrates the weaving traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico. For over a decade we have worked in true partnership with artisan communities, led by the ethos of slow fashion. Your purchase connects you to real people and their incredible artistry. Expertly handcrafted from start to finish, every thread has a story.

Sophisticated

It was a present for my best friend for her 50th birthday. We love your purses. She has several. I have two. These ladies are so talented. Beautiful detail. I can’t wait to buy another one for myself.
