cotton linen dresses

Inspired by the archaeological treasure that is the Sacred Valley of the Inca, the artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco create this beautiful shoulder bag. They use a traditional loom to weave the bag from a alpaca and sheep's wool blend yarns. Inca-inspired motifs decorate the bag as well as the shoulder straps. The fully lined bag features an interior zipper pocket.

Wilber Calapuja knits a long Aran-style tunic sweater that reaches to the knees to pair with tall boots for stylish warmth. The Andean artisan works in soft grey baby alpaca, the fine fleece from the season's first shearing. Dress it up or down — its neutral tone goes with everything.
