She's that stylish gal who could accessorize a burlap sack and make it look hot. Now she can make burlap the accessory, with a handmade Dutzi Rescue Bag. Each roomy, floppy, boho-chic bag is made of leather and vintage burlap, and is truly one of a kind. All profits go directly back to the talented women who make them in the Yucatán village of Tulum.
