Line of travel accessories that organize and store personal items. Each individual product seeks to optimize the space in the suitcase and have a more comfortable travel experience.

The textiles are made by artisans on a backstrap loom with undyed cotton threads and threads from The New Denim Project.

The pattern briefly tells the legend, focusing on the most important details.
Diamond A: The rhombuses "A" come together to represent when both boys become hummingbirds and finally get together. This phase represents freedom.
Diamonds B and C: the rhombus C is inside the B to represent when the hummingbird was hiding in the huipil. It also represents the stage in which they could not see each other freely, due to the girl's father's handicaps.
If we relate both stages of the legend with the experience of traveling, the stage of freedom represents as in the travel experience feels freedom from the stress that is experienced on a day-to-day basis. On the other hand, the stage where there is an absence of freedom represents the day-to-day and as many times stress consumes people.
