Oh my, how we love this bag, in all it’s buttery soft, scrunched and woven leather glory. The pale bisque color offsets the exquisite details, allowing the features of the pouch and your outfit to shine. Can’t you just see yourself, wearing your favorite a-line sun-dress and big sunnies, swinging this baby at your side?
Slouchy patent leather is the perfect foil to a bag that packs serious carrying punch. You could fit all your weekend essentials, with enough room for a change of swimsuits, with room to spare for glossies and only-at-the-beach summer reads.
Braided leather on the handles, a tasseled zip front pocket, and the most beautiful shade of light pink make it one incredible four-season stunner. Wear it with your work suit, your weekend barbeque romper, your favorite vintage slip.
Geometric strips of leather mix it up with embossed python in this perfectly-sized clutch, roomy enough for all your essentials without too much heaviness.
The sartorial challenges of live music are many: something breathable and comfortable must be worn for a full day of jamming under the hot sun. Comfortable shoes that can withstand a muddy field of revelers are a must. And of course, the purse. Free hands (for doing the robot, for instance) necessitate an over the shoulder style, while hydration and sun protection require something with space.
This eco-friendly bag can be worn over the shoulder (when you need to look professional on the way to work), or messenger style (when you need your hands free to carry the cooler shore-side), and is just big enough to fit your summer essentials.
Every bag purchased gives a patient a “second chance” from the charity of medical mission work. “We’re able to give kids prosthetic limbs and hernia repairs, or little things like diabetes medication. Help they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to get, but for $20 can save their life,” Lisa says.
But for someone who hasn’t carried one of these incredible bags, the handcrafted straps are more than just an ethnic embellishment. “Because the straps and other details are woven,” Lisa says, “everyone of these bags is super lightweight.” The havoc a heavy purse can wreak on your back is well documented (at this blog and everywhere else!), so a stylish and easy to carry purse is a premium in our closet! “The jewel is in that strap,” she says. “The straps and the design.”
While Lisa holds down the Limon Piel fort stateside, there is a flurry of Limon Piel activity happening south of the border. Limon Piel’s designer, Liliana, is based in Colombia along with the Limon Piel factory. But before those gorgeous totes are constructed in said factory, the team must take weaving materials to the indigenous tribes who create the woven element on each purse.
If you’re not already smitten with the Limon Piel line, the unbelievably hued leathers and hand-woven details make for utterly original and beautiful purses. Limon Piel (pronounced “lemon peel”), was founded by Lisa Garrett in 2009 after six years of medical missionary trips to Colombia.
