Barro Negro, or black clay, is a pottery technique that is popular in Mexico. This manufacturing process dates back to ancient times. In its origins, objects made of black clay were created just with soil but were not very efficient. For example, if they were used to carry water, it would seep through. To improve the hardness, artisans began to bake the clay at low temperatures in underground ovens fueled by oak wood.

The earliest pieces were made in Monte Alban, Oaxaca. However, today there are thousands of artisans who practice this craft in San Bartolo Coyotepec, and many neighboring counties, or close to the Valley of Mexico. It was until the 20th century that artisans began creating more elaborate pieces in different styles that can also have a polished gloss or burnished finish.

Mini clutch bag, inspired by the black clay crafts of Oaxaca. Cowhide leather wrist strap with gold shoulder strap. Suede interior. Truly a design that will fill your days with life and tradition.

Measurements: 8.3" W x 5" H

Materials: The leather used in this collection are treated with 100% vegetable materials. This means that different natural products are used in the tanning process instead of using chemicals that are harmful to the environment. These natural products are usually branches of trees and plants, such as chestnuts and tara, sticks, roots, and nuts, which are powdered and used to tan leather. The anilines used to color your bag, like the waxes that create the two-tone effect, are of plant origin. For this reason, any irregularity that is noticed in the skin is the effect of the natural process. As a suggestion, do not expose your bag to the sun for a long time as some oxidation could be noticed in color, as happens with fruit.

Care: Carlota pieces are made with high-quality materials, and therefore should be treated with care, and protected against the elements. Due to the delicate nature of the materials, daily use can cause scratches and scuff marks on the surface, so we recommend you treat it with care. The leather is submitted to an important natural dye process, and the suede lining is pigmented with natural anilines, so we recommend that you be careful with any light-colored items that may come into contact with it.

If soiled, carefully clean the surface area using water and soft detergents. To keep your leather products in optimum condition, clean with a soft dry cloth, or, if necessary have them professionally cleaned.
