Los patrones de esta hermosa bolsa de hombro 100% alpaca están inspirados en antiguos motivos incas. El bolso está elaborado totalmente a mano por los artesanos del Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco. Crían alpacas y llamas para obtener el vellón, luego esquilan, tiñen e hilan la lana. Finalmente, lo tejen a mano en un telar de cintura tradicional. La bolsa completamente forrada se cierra con una cremallera y cuenta con una correa ajustable y un bolsillo interior con cremallera.

“Authenitc from Cusco”

I just got back from Cusco, Peru. I bought beautiful pillow covers but wanted a few more authentic handwoven items. I KNOW this purse is authentic, and it is well made. I visited weaving cooperatives and recognize the natural colors and designs. It has a sturdy lining and a nice inside pocket with zipper. I use it for my everyday purse, I like the size. I dont like a big purse. It is important to me that the weavers of the Peruvian Andes get support to continue weaving. Tourists have not returned to this area and these traditions will be lost. Plus it is a beautiful purse with rich colors.

“Unique, artful, beautiful colors, and useful, as well!”

This handbag is absolutely beautiful! The colors are both gentle and calming (the blues and greens) and eyecatchingly bright -- (the beautiful berry/wine colored section down the center, which also incorporates lots of other colors.) This bag has a wonderful texture to it, as well. I love that it was loom-woven, and is also one-of-a-kind. Its sturdy, and a useful size, as well, and easily holds my (large) wallet, phone, and other necessities.

“My favorite go to handbag”

This handbag is exquisite! The craftmanship and quality of the weaving is unmatched in intricacy and beauty. The colors are deep, rich and complement the design so well. The bag is the perfect size, not too big nor too small. Just right for a wallet, phone, eyeglass case, keys, other small items. The strap is adjustable to either shoulder length or crossbody, which is really versatile. Even the zipper is quality. I love this handbag and I highly recommend it!

“Classy and Yet Casual Handbag”

I was immediately impressed with the care taken in constructing this bag. The horizontal fabric goes all the way around for the body of the bag with only one seam. The base of the bag is squared well and stitched perfectly. The lining is nicely constructed and theres a zippered pocket for items that might be otherwise lost in the bottom of the bag.

“Beautiful, well made and it Makes Me HAPPY!”

Every time I carry this purse I have women -- and one man who was looking for a birthday gift for his wife -- who LOVED this purse and asked where I got it. I gave them your website! And when I told them its alpaca, they were delighted and one squeeled, Oh, I LOVE alpaca! WOW! I think its great, and one thing I really like about it is that it holds my wallet, phone, a few other items--and then the purse says, Clean me out! The size is what I was looking for and then I found this BEAUTIFUL option. Abit pricier than I wanted, but worth EVERY PENNY! THANKS!
