Otomi-Inspired Knot Bag

By Mags Kandis

 
This mash-up of global aesthetics combines the elements of a distinctive Mexican textile with a
simplified Japanese knot bag. This bag can do double duty— enroute it holds little things that have a tendency to wander in a bigger bag. Once at your destination, it becomes the perfect evening accessory.
