Details

The patterns on this beautiful 100% alpaca shoulder bag are inspired by ancient Inca motifs. The bag is crafted entirely by hand by the artisans of the centre for Traditional Textiles of Cusco. They raise the alpacas and llamas to obtain the fleece, then shear, dye and spin the wool. Finally, they weave it by hand on a traditional backstrap loom. The fully-lined bag closes with a zipper and features an adjustable strap and 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!
