This playful pouch carries it all in a mixed striped pattern for a cute touch to your bathroom counter. Mercado Global is a Brooklyn-based accessory brand and non-profit that empowers rural Latin American women to become entrepreneurs. All their textiles are handwoven in Guatemala using a process of weaving that dates back centuries and has been passed down by women from generation to generation. The skilled hands of the Mayans have been weaving for over 2,000 years using the same traditional methods. Weaving has remained symbolic to the artisans because of its Mayan heritage and the value it holds to the creator. Additionally, through donor-funded business education and leadership programs, they help women create community businesses to support themselves and their families. Import
