This elegant men's intarsia knit pullover sweater is crafted of pure alpaca wool yarns by Peru's Maria Cutipa. Inspired by the patterns and motifs of pre-Inca cultures, the artisan knits the sweater with geometric designs in sepia, espresso and Prussian blue. A rib knit trims the crew neckline, hem and cuffs.

Moises Alvarez invokes the presence of a Chasqui warrior to adorn this elegant wastepaper basket. He crafts the piece of quality leather, tooling-in the pre-Inca imagery with sublime detail.

Wear this bag any way you like. Kathiana Quispe crafts it with two different removable straps that will allow you to wear it as a shoulder bag, crossbody, wristlet, or an elegant evening clutch. She mixes the colors and textures of smooth tobacco leather with a tooled geometric pattern along the flap's edge. This bag is fully lined and comes with a flap magnetic closure, a zippered interior pocket, and an adjustable strap.

Katiana Quispe's work mixes the old traditions of her native Cusco with functional, modern designs. She learned the art of tooling leather from her father and uses Andean textiles as inspiration for her work.

An Incan cross, also called a chacana, with an Andean woven fabric insert and bordered by Incan architecture motifs adorn this espresso brown leather passport cover designed by Kathiana Quispe of Peru. The back is solid brown and inside are two transparent sleeves to hold your passport securely in place.

Specializing in leather handbags and accessories, Lima native and apparel designer Patsy Chang creates this refined shoulder bag ideal for a Sunday outing or evening dinner downtown. The bag features an adjustable leather strap, Incan motif wool trim on the leather exterior and a polyester-lined interior closing with a zipper. Studying fashion design and seeing her designs sold in boutiques around Lima gave Patsy the confidence to succeed and thrive in her professional and adult life, after a childhood riddled with bullying, bouncing between Peru and Japan.

How Incan royalty adorned themselves for ceremonies forms the basis for Andean artisan Dina's design of this beaded bracelet pair. She has included handmade brown ceramic beads in each of the two bracelets which compose the set as well as smooth glass beads in a lilac color. Each stretch bracelet is unique, however, as one is adorned with amethyst and the other features ceramic beads hand-painted with lines and circles.
