7" Zippered Cord Bags --- These colorful zippered bags are wonderfully convenient.

You can carry them as a simple shoulder bag or put them in a briefcase or backpack and easily find the things you are always searching for in the bottom of the larger packs (keys, wallet, musical picks and pipes, ...). I carry my diabetes meter and medications in one. The front side of the bags are made from woven brocaded cloth from older Todos Santos huipils, and the other from striped woven cloth used on the huipils side panels. They are about 7 by 7 inches. The top of the bag has a zipper closure and cord strap.
