Details

Inca-inspired patterns add unique charm to this handcrafted 100% alpaca shoulder bag. The artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco start from scratch to create it--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.

“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.
