Sorry, this item has sold.

Sirens & Starlight wants to give back. We have created these special bags in honor of the “Go Gold and Give” motto. With the purchase of each bag a donation will be made to the American Childhood Cancer Organization. They’re a wonderful organization that is there to help support, educate and advocate for children battling cancer and their families.

Each bag has silver hardware except for the zippers which are all gold. Your other straps and bag gear will still match but the pop of gold symbolizes your support of “Go Gold” for children battling cancer.

Childhood cancer is the #1 disease-related cause of death for children in the United States and many other countries. For those who survive, two-thirds will also endure chronic health conditions from the toxic side effects of cancer treatment, including secondary cancers and other life-threatening illnesses.

You can find out more information from their website.

These convertible day bags are all handmade in Guatemala. They were made by a very small female led family collective in the Chichicastenango region. In this family they have learned for generations how to make these huipils and have passed the traditions down. They are made from vintage huipils. Huipils are the handwoven shirts worn as part of the traditional Traje, Mayan traditional clothing. The huipils are woven on backstrap looms and can take up to 1-4 months for a woman to complete her one huipil. These textiles are worn as part of her daily clothes and eventually sold at a fair trade price to be handmade by the collective into new products. The Faja straps are made from the vintage traditional belts worn by the Mayan women that they have woven and hand embroidered. Each belt and huipil is one of a kind. You may find another similar but never identical. The bags are ethically made, ethically sourced fair trade bags that give back to the Guatemalan people and the community. It is our goal to support and contribute to the preservation of the indigenous environment and way of life.


The bags are gorgeous full grain leather and vintage textiles. There are imperfections and natural marks in the leather and wear to the textiles. Please note these are not flaws but part of the natural beauty of the materials. Loose threads sometimes happen. Simple poke them through the huipil to the back with a needle or snip them gently. Never pull the thread.
