MERCADO Medium Vanilla & Powder

Some objects carry more than what we place inside them, they carry the memory of the hands that made them.

The Mercado by Palorosa begins its journey in Guatemala, where every bag is entirely handmade by women artisans, crafted patiently by hand using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations. There is no rush in the process. Every weave, every texture, every subtle variation carries the presence of the hands that created it.

Lightweight yet remarkably durable, the bag is crafted by incorporating recycled plastic, transformed through skilled artistry into something refined, modern, and enduring. Its signature geometric weave, inspired by traditional Guatemalan baskets.

Designed for everyday versatility, the Basket Medium offers a spacious yet elegant silhouette that moves effortlessly through daily life. Carried by hand or worn comfortably over the shoulder, it transitions naturally from busy mornings in the city to relaxed afternoons, evening gatherings, and journeys abroad with understated sophistication.

Look closely and you may notice slight irregularities in the weave – subtle marks of the human hands behind its creation. These details are not imperfections, but reminders that each piece is entirely unique, carrying within it the soul of the artisan who made it.

Not simply a bag. It is a story woven by hand, shaped by heritage, and designed to accompany modern life beautifully.
