Product Details:
Our Harmony Passport Wallet was designed to keep you traveling in style with a wallet that fits your needs, holding securely your phone, money, credit cards and passport! This travel wallet is made with high quality leather and a traditional huipil textile from Patzún, Guatemala.. The eye-catching colors and intricate pattern of the textile body was originally created on a back-strap loom by a female weaver.
Features:
Multiple compartments and slips to keep you super organized.
Magnetic snap closure to protect your passport during travel.
One-of-a-kind:
No two wallets are the same! Hiptipico prides itself on uniqueness and authenticity. Every Hiptipico product is 100% handmade and has the human touch of the weaver and maker in each stitch. This makes our products uniquely charming and distinct from factory-made accessories. No two are exactly the same and imperfections are to be expected and appreciated.
Community Impact:
This bag is part of our Zero Waste Collection, which features textile treasures from indigenous villages all around Guatemala, a country world-famous for its intricate textiles and hand-embroidery. This collection is all about art appreciation and revival! When purchasing huipiles for crafting our artisanal bags, we make it our priority to select only textiles that could no longer be worn to truly give them a second life.

Doña Elena, Doña Juana and Helencita are our favorite vendors to visit at the Panajachel Bomberos Textile Market. Their families have been selling at this market for close to 20 years and they have the most incredible collection of huipiles from their village of Patzún, Chimaltenango. These huipiles are most easily identified by their gorgeous embroidered flowers at the neckline with a maroon striped woven body to follow. All of the Patzún textiles we use are sustainably sourced from Doña Elena and your purchase supports this hard-working female artisan family.
