This coin purse is crafted from authentic Madeiran striped fabric – the same traditional textile used for centuries in the island’s iconic folk skirts. Originating in the 19th century, these distinctive stripes were woven on wooden looms by rural artisans, with color combinations signaling village identity (red/white for celebrations, blue/black for daily wear).
Unlike mass-printed imitations, this fabric is hand-loomed using techniques passed down through generations, its loose weave requiring expert sewing to prevent fraying.
100% cotton | ≈ 11x12cm
Measurements may vary slightly, as each piece is entirely hand-sewn by a Madeiran craftswoman. To preserve its integrity spot clean only with a damp cloth, avoid water to protect the natural fibers and dyes.
