Jonote Basket Backpack

A special basket made by artisan hands in Central Mexico. Each one is uniquely crafted and has adjustable cotton canvas straps with brass sliders.

Traditionally made by a democratic collective of women in Mexico.The baskets are made from hand-harvested local wood and tree bark and take a full day to produce each one. This area of Mexico is highly conscious of eco-friendly practices and working with organic, locally sourced materials, along with minimizing waste by recycling and composting. These backpacks not only help to provide a positive stream of income for this hardworking and industrious group, they also help to maintain traditions which have been practiced for thousands of years.

 W 10"x D 5"x H 10"  Sizes may slightly vary as each one is made by hand.
