Izel Crossbody Bag – Handcrafted, Dual-Compartment Design with Upcycled Corte Lining

The Izel Crossbody brings together elegant design, artisan craftsmanship, and cultural heritage in one unique bag. With a distinct silhouette that sets it apart from the traditional crossbody, the Izel is both stylish and functional.

This thoughtfully designed bag features two separate compartments, making it easy to organize your everyday essentials. The main compartment also includes an interior pocket for added organization. Inside, the bag is beautifully lined with reclaimed corte fabric—the traditional skirt textile worn by Indigenous women in Guatemala—giving each piece a unique, meaningful touch.

Each Izel Crossbody is ethically handcrafted in collaboration with a local Guatemalan leather artisan, ensuring quality craftsmanship and fair employment practices.

The name “Izel” is a variant of Itzel, derived from Ixchel—the Mayan goddess of the moon, earth, and medicine, symbolizing strength, healing, and feminine power.
