Red Belmonte Chita Purse

Chita de Alcobaça is a printed cotton fabric that originated in India. It was brought to Portugal in the 15th century and became very popular in the following centuries in decorative pieces and clothing all over Europe. The reason for the name “Chitas de Alcobaça” is still a mystery today. Chita is characterized by its colourful patterns, wide or thin stripes and floral, animal, human or cornucopia motifs.

Available in cotton fabric, waterproofed cotton fabric and plasticized cotton fabric on top. Purses made of waterproofed cotton fabric or laminated on top are waterproof from the inside.
