Woven bag/purse butterfly but no photo can doThese bags are called "morrales" and are not only beautiful but so useful. I have a morral that I've used for over 20 years when I want a casual shoulder bag to hold my iPad or a book. They are handwoven on a backstrap loom either in wool or acrylic by indigenous women in the village of Cuanajo, Michoacn and all feature a long shoulder strap. These bags are soft, but incredibly sturdy and now available in three styles.
