Details

Ancestral patterns add unique charm to this handcrafted 100% alpaca shoulder bag. The artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco start from scratch to create it--raising the alpacas and llamas to obtain the fleece; shearing, dyeing and spinning the wool; and weaving the textile on a traditional waist loom. The fully-lined bag closes with a zipper and features an interior zipper pocket.

“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!

“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.
