“Not just a memory”

This bag is crafted and brilliantly dyed with quality. It is now my second shoulder bag from these artists. The colorful bag brings me back to my honeymoon 29 years ago in Peru. The quality, beauty, and practicality of Peruvian products hasn t changed.

“Perfect size and well made”

Love the deep red color and glyph pattern. Quality workmanship. Perfect for carrying my large cell phone (iPhone 14 XL ) and essentials on my walks. This would make a nice present but Im keeping this one!
