Incredible bag!!
This bag is an amazing piece of art and a great statement piece. Really easy to pair with jeans and boots or a vintage blazer, joggers and sneakers. Can't wait to get more pieces as holiday gifts!

Most Gorgeous & Fabulous Hat Ever
I saw this hat on Instagram and just had to have one. Although picking out just one was challenging, I finally committed to a colorful yellow, blue, and black combo. The hat arrived very quickly, and I was thrilled to be able to wear it before summer's end. It was a bit tight on my head, but I followed the video instructions, and it was super easy to get the perfect fit and shape for my tastes. Everywhere I go, I get compliments, and I have already decided that I am going to order a few more because each hat is unique and more beautiful than the last. RAVE reviews! I'm almost reluctant to tell anyone where I purchased the hat, but I'm spreading the word far and wide because the proceeds benefit the talented weavers and artisans.

Sabrina Handmade Wayuu Hat
So beautiful!!!
This bag is simply gorgeous!!! So well made. The color is so cool, great for the summer. One thing though, the strap needs to be longer. The strap is very short. I'd definitely, definitely, definitely pay more for a longer strap. Stunning work.

I love Hats
the hat is beautiful, but the color of the sash was not what I expected. The color is way off. I wish I could exchange it for another color
