    Description

    Purchased in Panama; never worn or used, new condition!
    Chácara or ‘kra’ is the word used by the indigenous indigenous Ngobe-Bugle people of western Panama to describe the traditional bags made from natural fibers that are a functional part of their everyday life.  Chácaras are made in different sizes, and are used by the Ngäbe people for carrying grains and seeds during the harvest season, transporting clothing to the river for washing, and in some cases, as a swing or hammock for infants.
    This particular bag and its strap is made of vegetable fiber and woven with tiny, beautiful beads showcasing a turqoise butterfly design.  It's sturdy and eco-friendly, and would perfectly fit a small to medium-sized cell phone (6"x4" or smaller)!
    As this is a handmade, one-of-a-kind item, there are slight imperfections, which serve as a connection to the individual who invested her time and talent in creating this beautiful bag.
    Color: Turquoise/Black/Beige
    Dimensions: 6.5" height x 4.5" width
    Velcro closure
    Strap: 24" length
    (strap can be easily knotted to create perfect fit)
    Thanks for looking!
