Detailed geometric motifs flow across this beautiful brown shoulder bag from Peru. By artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco, its fabric is woven by hand on a backstrap loom. The women utilize patterns that derive from Inca art and seek to keep the heirloom textile traditions alive.
The bag is fully lined and opens to reveal a convenient zipper pocket.

This bag is crafted and brilliantly dyed with quality. It is now my second shoulder bag from these artists. The colorful bag brings me back to my honeymoon 29 years ago in Peru. The quality, beauty, and practicality of Peruvian products hasn t changed.

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!
