Lidia is very skilled, and very passionate. She loves her job and the workshop environment. She started working with our production partner 5 years ago. In 2014, Lidia, one of Paulina's colleagues, is 50 years old and has been working with leather for 35 years. Paulina works in our partner production coop, where she is responsible for finishing and hardware. Each bag provides a day's work to women, and a week of life skills mentoring for adolescent indigenous girls through the Catrinka Girls Project. This bag was made by four women, including Paulina, in an ethical production group outside of Mexico City. Paired with that Pom Pom? Absolutely dreamy!" - IlyssaĮach pouch is unique! Let us choose for you or email to choose your own. What do customers say? " I am pretty sure I audibly gasped when I pulled the Paulina out of the box. Sold with pouch and with pom - pom can be purchased separately here too. 100% natural leather is chrome-tanned: no pigments are used in the tanning process and it features natural variations and imperfections that make each bag unique. This is the making of a rain look of the day for you, my dear readers.New and improved! We added a detachable zip pouch made from vintage Chiapas textiles to perfect this classic silhouette, that goes everywhere and with everything. But oh man, those “rain boots” were just weighing me down… wouldn’t this look be better better with some sky high YSL’s? You betcha! And let’s ditch that umbrella and take this photo in a hallway so we don’t get soaked, don’t you think? Then I thought the sweater I was wearing underneath was too bulky so I changed into my new bell sleeve crop top that is so chic it’s like instant outfit steroids. Unfortunately no spoonful of sugar was going to make this look go down easy, so I swapped the long coat with this much cooler shorter one. To give you a visual aid, I looked like Mary Poppins! So this outfit started with my regular black over the knee boots underneath the skirt, with a long camel coat over, and my DIY skinny scarf draped over the coat, all while holding an umbrella. You pass me in the rain thinking, what is that idiot wearing? Where does she think she is going?Īnyway, I digress. So I guess this whole project is more for me than you right? You all own raincoats. ![]() Because if I was I would look cute in the rain, which I don’t. Because I am some sort of rain outfit wiz. So here I am, no raincoat and no rainboots thinking I am going to show you a great rain look. Yes there are tons of anoraks but I hate that look so no thanks. ![]() Now you probably understand why I hate the rain! There is just not one coat out there that is water-repellant, has a hood, and looks great for date night. ![]() Which brings me to the raincoat portion of our discussion- I don’t own one of those either. Why? Dear reader, because I HATE the rain. I, simply, do not own a pair of rainboots. So I thought, this will be a challenge, why don’t I show my readers how to look cute in the rain without rainboots? The rationale behind that decision was plain. My original intention was to find something chic to wear in the rain, because, well here in Northern California we have had 11 straight days of downpours and I consistently feel as if I look like a rag bag. ![]() Would you believe that this outfit above was originally conceived as a ‘how to look chic while braving the rain’ look? No? Well, I’ll prove it to you. And I say that with the utmost humor in mind. While it’s true that many of the outfits I wear on this blog are planned out in advance, another half evolve out of a concept on a whim.
