This bag was designed for Ingrid, a multicultural Bostonian with roots from Peru, and a Pura Vida love for life that her Costa Rica and Greek family inspired in her life journey. As she embraces the true facets of her self, she has found comfort and connection with the Kali deity of India, who represents the balance of the courageous and bold qualities of the protector, infused with profound compassion for all beings of the earth from humans to trees to ants. She has always been drawn to spirals which to her symbolizes Pachamama (Mother Earth), universal connection, and energy. Both the goddesses of Kali and Pachamama are infused together into this hand-embroidered (material) bag, custom created by Nellie Theroux and Vivekanand Pandey Vimal.
