I LOVE this bag!
This bag is now my favorite purse! I wanted something I could use daily to remind me of my trip to Peru. It is so well made and looks just like the picture. This isn't a large bag but there's room for a slim wallet, phone, and a few personal items. The additional zippered pocket on the outside is a nice touch - it's easily big enough for a cell phone and the adjustable strap completes it. I highly recommend this bag!
I don't usually buy depictions of people, but...
I have a pretty substantial collection of folk art, and at the time that I purchased these, I had only four items in my collection which arguably depicted people. I tend to much prefer animals, plants, and geometric forms. However I really like Quipac's earrings and his page is one I check almost every month to see if he has new work. When I saw these, these struck me not so much as people as representations of a culture and a costume displayed in a beautiful geometric pattern. They were also on sale at the time! I got them, and have them displayed on a jewelry tree I also got from Novica, where they are accompanied by bats from Indonesia and some other work by the same artist depicting a leaf and a flower.
Beautiful! Just what I'd hoped it would be!
Beautiful craftsmanship and lovely weaving make this a beautiful small purse! I wanted both the crossbody strap as well as the handle to make it more useful for my needs; both are sturdy yet feminine enough to make this bag wearable for most all occasions. The colors of the weaving are beautiful with the stitches tight and not likely to snag or show wear over time. I highly recommend this bag!
