Nahui Ollin Handbags Coming to Jute & Jackfruit in September!
We are so excited to announce that Jute & Jackfruit will be selling the very hot and eco Nahui Ollin bags this fall. Handwoven and made from 100% recycled candy wrappers, (unused that otherwise would have been thrown them on a landfill!), each bag is woven together using traditional mayan weaving techniques into very hip, modern designs. Each bag takes between 1 – 4 days to weave and requires up to 4000 wrappers.
The bags are super chic, practical and fun. Each one being slightly unique – with a different combination of wrappers, yet coming together in a sassy, fun style… to make what appears to be the coolest eco-friendly handbags of the decade. Not only are these bags super eco-friendly but they are also made by indigeous women and men in Mexico – so you can feel twice as good about your purchase.
A full glimpse at the Jute & Jackfruit collection will be coming soon!
Featued above: Tutti Frutti ER Handbag
