Blue Inspiration

Inspired?  We love following Design Seeds’ blog to get new color pallets for our fabrics.   It is full of beautiful imagery with color swatches just in case you fall in love with a color you see!

Our Best-Selling Bags

So these are by far some of our top-selling bags!  From left to right, Newspaper, Combo Quilt and Comalapa Patch.  The bottom three images are the smaller versions of these bags that are also available.  Each bag is handmade using recycled fabrics from Guatemala.  The fabric comes from the traditional dress, specifically the blouses and skirts that women wear in Guatemala.  Using recycled fabrics rather than new allows each bag to be 100% unique, eco-friendly and it also helps keep the cost down.  The large bags retail for $28 and the smaller ones $24.  Because each bag is 100% unique, we are working on finding a way to successfully sell them on our retail website: www.uniquebatikfairtrade.com.  Any suggestions?  We would love to hear from you!
