These bags are hand woven by women in La Guajira, a rural desert area on the border of Colombia and Venezuela, using a crotchet technique introduced by missionaries at the start of the 19th century. While maintaining her daily chores, one of these intricate bags takes a single woman a whole month to complete.

Set to retail for $325, only about 40 of these handmade creations will be available for purchase at SURevolution.com beginning this Friday. And no two bags will be alike – each will be entirely unique in terms of color and design.

Ditch that old raggedy thing you’re toting around and opt for one of these gorgeous, sunny bags.

Look Five: Spring Spins Sheer and Long

The Sheer Tie Dye Skirt: $175

The dyed effect on this clear piece brings ethereality. It’s meant to layer, so I kept my blinding purple American Apparel tights on underneath. The leggings are low slung, and I’ve hiked the skirt up, leaving my skin only partially exposed, good for a summertime peekaboo.

The Summer Vest Dress: $195

Hitting floor length and speckled with florals, this garment is flexible in its wear. Pull it open for an all-encompassing vest, or close it for a lovely sweeping dress. And it gives me slight vibes of Easter Sunday, which I suppose makes sense, as it’s been reborn.

The Cashmere Crop: $105

Soft and delicious is this little top. It squeezes right into this look, its lavender picking up the purples throughout. In the mid-weather Spring, it’ll keep you cuddling warm with a jacket, but will still be working alone with a high waist. The shoulders stay aloft with substantial facing, acting as its own shoulder pads.

Look Four: Layered and Lace

The Long Lace Skirt: $205

I chose this skirt because it has to be layered, and the lace is insatiable. It’s perfectly narrow at the waist with a zipper, and it flares so naturally at the bottom. Spinning takes great effect in this.

The Nether Layer Ivory Skirt: $145

I went white underneath so that the lace can come alive in contrast. It’s shorter than the lace skirt, so there’s a cloud of mystery by the ankles. The elastic at the waistband makes this piece ultra versatile and the silk makes it super soft.

The Crop Tank Back-Lace: $125

From the front, it is proportioned just right for this skirt, curving up to the top of the hips. The back is made of white lace, covering sheer from nape to waist.

The Plucked Heart Necklace: Pamela Love, $380

She’s the drummer in a band and inspired by everything from medicine to Hieronymus Bosch. She’s making mighty jewelry, rustic, weighty and evocative.

Look 3: Counterstripes

The Long Skinny Stripe, $170

Skinny stripes cause an optical illusion. They’re a stark black and white contrast and play with the light to look three-dimensional. This bottom shirt layer hangs way low in the back, a completely different length than the front. It would work alone as a dress on a shorter frame, as it’s a small and I’m a giant.

The Mid Layer Shirt Vest, $145

The optical quality of the stripes is thrown into relief with another layer of mini stripes. Black and off-white, it brings the eye to notice the opposing shapes and colors. Cut narrowly sleeveless, and high at the side, it can stand on its own or as a lovely layer.

The Wash Silk Crop Shirt, $85

Breast pockets and a mid waist crop are some elements that make this substantially silky button up so perfect for now. Layered over the optical twins, it acts like a jacket, but looks and feels like nothing of the sort.

The Thin Maxi Skirt, $145

The layers get longer as we go down. Thus, the skirt is an ankle length swinger. Not see-through but certainly light in texture, this skirt and its elastic band will find many ways to live on your body.

Look 2: Work It Two-Timer

The Tall Turtle Stretch Silk Top, $175

This tie-bleached black washed silk tank has a cowl on the neck that is the just the size to hug over my ears and contain my hair within it. Imagine that feeling on a cool summer’s eve. The shirt goes longer, falling just below butt level.

The Summer Slack, $135

The pedal pushers in a washed silk twill have an elastic insert at center back for size versatility. When remaking vintage clothing into something new, the sizing doesn’t always carry over. Aflalo uses this method in many of her pieces.

The Slouch Blazer, $165

Once made for shoulder pads, the shoulders are now rounded into a drop shoulder. It’s malleable and light; an ideal warm weather sport jacket.

The Vintage Wicker Slippers,$95

They like these little ol’ guys at The Reformation. A different shape cut from yesterday’s look, but these slip-ons are super practical; a lovely summer flip flop alternative.
