Elvia's Purse Boutique™

Elvia Minas crafts her purses from guipil garments formerly worn by women in the villages surrounding her home in San Miguel Escobar. Elvia uses various aspects of the original guipil embroidery to create a unique design for each purse. She does all of her own seamstress work and is continually expanding her range of purse styles.

Elvia has five years of experience working as a seamstress and sews clothes for herself and members of her family. She has completed a specialized seamstress training course in addition to her grade school diploma.
