Earth Dove Brown Textured Handwoven Alpaca Blend Morral Shoulder Bag

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(31)

Crafted by hand, this delightful morral combines rich textures with red, white and rich earthen browns. Artisan members of Peru's Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco first knot the yarn before it is woven on a backstrap loom. The motifs derive from Inca art in an effort to keep the traditional patterns and techniques alive as well as their Andean identity. This texture is known as urpi, which means "dove" in the Quechua language.

The community raises and cares for its own alpacas. The fleece is washed, carded and spun by hand using a pushka, or drop spindle. The dyes come from plants, nuts and tree bark. The next step is one of the most important, as the artisan prepares the warp, or vertical threads for the backstrap loom. This determines the size of the textile, the color combinations, and the patterns that will be woven.

The intensity of color can vary depending on the hardness of the water, the altitude and the local dye sources, making each textile a unique piece of handcrafted art

Love it

I love the softness, warmth, design, color and fit of this. I used to knit a lot, and can confirm that this is high-quality work. My favorite sweater. I'm 5'5 and 125-130 lbs and the medium was a perfect relaxed fit which is what I prefer..

Another wonderfully diverse shawl

I love the option of lighter colors (& reversible) for this shawl. It is long SOFT and warm. The style is also different with the seam down the back. Nice to have a new version as well as change in color schemes. Superb work !

My go-to bag for practical beauty

I get lots of “wow!” compliments when I carry this purse. The colors are beautiful and the pattern is complex. Overall, this purse is very pleasing to the eye, and also to the touch (not scratchy on your shoulder). The dark blues and burgundy hues are so sublime. Highly recommend!
