Woven Straw Tote – c. Mid-20th Century taxco 15" Shoulder13. 5" Height 17. 5" Width 7" Depth Probably mid century, though the exact place and date remain unclear. Tightly woven straw body with a calm, even rhythmnothing rushed. The short leather handles feel intentional, almost abrupt, but well balanced. Thick leather tabs, aged rivets, and softened grip from use. Not decorative, not rustic for effectjust proportion and material doing the work. The kind of bag that makes sense the moment you hold it.
