Pacientemente tejidos a mano en telares de cintura, los motivos antiguos recuerdan el esplendor del imperio inca, cuando estos textiles eran más apreciados que el oro. artesanos de la Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco Crea un bolso de belleza atemporal, combinando azul y dos tonos de rojo sobre un fondo azul oscuro. Le ponen el nombre a su diseño de Chinchero, donde el tiempo parece haberse detenido durante siglos y se habla el idioma quechua y buscan mantener vivas las antiguas tradiciones textiles.

La comunidad cría y cuida sus propias alpacas. El vellón se lava, carda e hila a mano utilizando un pushka, o huso de caída. Los tintes provienen de plantas, nueces y corteza de árboles. El siguiente paso es uno de los más importantes, ya que el artesano prepara la urdimbre, o hilos verticales para el telar de cintura. Esto determina el tamaño del tejido, las combinaciones de colores y los patrones que se tejerán.

My go-to bag for practical beauty”

I get lots of “wow!” compliments when I carry this purse. The colors are beautiful and the pattern is complex. Overall, this purse is very pleasing to the eye, and also to the touch (not scratchy on your shoulder). The dark blues and burgundy hues are so sublime. Highly recommend!

Artistically beautiful!”

This handbag is wonderfully artistic. The design is so original and the wool fabric is soft and vibrant. Even the bottom of this artistic piece has these cute colorful stripes that blend in gorgeously with the whole piece.

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!

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.
