Designed by Martha Clippinger, these objects are woven and made by Licha González Ruiz and Agustín Contreras López of Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Tapetes bags that are “envelope style” have a thin profile that works well as a purse but is also great for carrying laptops. “Flat base” styles have tapered bottoms that create slightly more volume in their interiors and make a great tote for all your carrying needs.
Additional bags are for sale at The Columbus Museum (Columbus, GA), North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh, NC), and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI).
