All tote bags are made by me in my home studio in Ledyard, CT. I make my tote bags using fabric from around the world. My family originates from Mexico, where I spent the early years of my life before emigrating to the US. It was the sights and sounds of the markets, the colorful crafts, the textiles and the beauty of our indigenous cultures that inspired my love for travel and the cultures around the world. Thank you for making the time to visit. ~Gila
For me, sourcing global textiles is about more than collecting beautiful fabric - it is a way to support communities. It is often difficult to find the true origin of a textile, how it was made and by who. I do my best to research the legitimacy of the vendors I work with.
The new African Print Collection is made from 100% cotton fabric with gorgeous African designs. I purchased the fabric from RE:LINK, an e-commerce platform where you can source authentic African products and connect to African owned businesses.
