I adore browsing Etsy for creative shops and fashionable pieces that stand out from the crowd. I recently found this beautiful shop that carries culturally diverse handbags with a modern twist.
Lidabri uses latin, carribean and african culture to design pretty pieces that are both stylish and fun and make great accessories for fashionistas of today while also staying true to flavors of ethic heritage. They make
crossbody bags as well as
clutch handbags using authentic colorful Mola (fabric that is used to create clotching that Kuna women in places like Panama wear). No two Mola fabrics are the same so each handbag is one of a kind! Here is the beautiful clutch bag that I got from
Lidabri handbags.

I adore my bag. The black with the fringe and the metal studs adds a modern flair, while the stitched Mola adds a gorgeous ethnic touch. The creator behind Lidabri, who creates each piece, was nice enough to tell me a little bit about her products and the feeling behind her brand.
"My inspiration is derived from my personal Latin, Caribbean & African culture blended with contemporary elements. It's important to introduce different cultures to people while making it fashionable. Being born & raised in Miami's diverse melting pot has also had an essential impact on my creativity. As far as prints go, I am intrigued by the Mola and it's dynamic history.
The Kuna Indians of Panama's San Blas island hand make this colorful, reverse embroidered art. I am mostly drawn to the Molas with the black backgrounds; the colors definitely pop more with such a strong contrast! Each Mola print is one of a kind & each collection can be considered a limited edition. These Mola handbags are more of a collector's item as well as conversation pieces.
It's all exciting for me to share & design into the Lidabri line!"
These beautiful bags are quite a eye catcher, I've even had compliments when others have seen my bag. Lidabri's bags are very affordable too, with clutch bags priced at only $40 and crossbody bags for only $60. Lidabri also offers fast shipping, and the customer service is wonderful! I am so impressed and highly recommend this shop to anyone who adores handbags and who would love a fashionable piece that will stand out from the crowd.
