This one-of-a-kind Woven straw Crossbody chest bags, of Haitian origin, is more than an accessory, its a piece of art.  The bag is made of natural fibers, likely palm or straw, showcasing a traditional woven texture. Carefully handcrafter and hand painted by a skilled Haitian artisan, depicts a rural scene with two figures: a man in a straw hat holding what appears to be fruit, and a woman with a basket on her head, possibly at a market or returning from one, reflecting typical daily life in Haiti. The background of the painting shows lush green fields, distant mountains, and a blue sky with clouds, conveying the natural beauty of the Haitian landscap. The Crossbody chest bags features a flap closure secured by a wooden button and a loop. A prominent "Haïti" inscription written in black indicating its origin on the front.

In the background, complementing the cultural theme, are additional elements like a decorative red leaf-shaped object and a round, stone-like object. This piece is an example of Haitian craft, where practical items are adorned with artistic expressions, blending functionality with cultural storytelling.
