Description :
Charming mid‑20th‑century Mexican folk craft set, comprising a woven fiber handbag with latch‑top closure and two matching round lidded baskets. Each piece is hand‑constructed from natural palm or straw fibers and embellished with vibrant yarn motifs and folded paper flowers—decorative techniques strongly associated with regional artisan markets in central and southern Mexico during the 1950s–1970s. The handbag features a tall, structured form with leather handles and mixed‑media floral accents, while the baskets display classic circular lids with radiating yarn designs in saturated colors. Together, the group reflects the playful palette, hand‑assembled ornamentation, and souvenir‑market craftsmanship characteristic of mid‑century Mexican decorative arts. Condition consistent with age and use. Please review all photos for the most accurate representation. Notes
Baskets: 7" and 9" diameter; 4" and 5" height
Handbag: 13" length, 5" width, 15" height from base to top of handle
