Oversized Corte Beach Tote | Handwoven Guatemalan Pool Bag

These vibrant oversized totes are made from authentic corte fabric—the traditional skirts worn by Mayan women in Guatemala. Each textile has already lived a life before being carefully transformed into a beautiful, functional bag.

The artisans at Ruth & Naomi, a sewing cooperative in Guatemala, upcycle these handwoven cortes into durable everyday totes designed for sunshine and adventure. The result is a bag that’s as meaningful as it is practical.

Large enough for a full beach day, this tote easily holds up to four beach towels, sunscreen, a book, and all the little extras that make a day by the water perfect.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtful details designed for real life: a waterproof pocket for wet swimsuits or sunscreen and a metal ring for your keys so they’re easy to find when you’re ready to head home.

And because every corte textile is different, no two bags are ever alike. When you carry one, you’re carrying a truly one-of-a-kind piece of Guatemalan textile heritage.
