Details

With traditional motifs that echo the shapes of the Andes mountains, this 100% alpaca shoulder bag is a standout. The artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco craft it entirely from scratch--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!
