With the tremendous success of the first World Threads exhibit last year, TACtile is expanding the size and scope of this year’s event.

The Exhibit’s objective is to bring an awareness and appreciation of world textile traditions to the public and to support those groups and individuals working to preserve these traditions. Participating organizations like Dsenyo will offer a lecture, workshop, demonstration, or video related to the fiber traditions represented in their products. These will occur on Saturdays during the exhibit.

The swing bag I purchased from the Dsenyo Moza collection is the best over the shoulder bag I have found. I use it in every season! I looked specifically for a purse style with a long, adjustable stap that allows me to secure the purse across my body and this swing bag has everything I wanted. The purse is a perfect size and all the pockets keep my loot organized and accessible.
