I just returned from my second trip to Peru, where I saw hundreds of original Moche artifacts in museums, including the one this is based on. I was looking for a piece like this to bring back, as I love Moche work, but didn t find anything I liked. I saw Mr. Acosta s work on Novica and was immediately enthralled. I ordered this piece plus the Nazca whale ceramic. They both are beautiful and so much like the originals! I will definitely buy more of his work in the future.

I just got back from Cusco, Peru. I bought beautiful pillow covers but wanted a few more authentic handwoven items. I KNOW this purse is authentic, and it is well made. I visited weaving cooperatives and recognize the natural colors and designs. It has a sturdy lining and a nice inside pocket with zipper. I use it for my everyday purse, I like the size. I dont like a big purse. It is important to me that the weavers of the Peruvian Andes get support to continue weaving. Tourists have not returned to this area and these traditions will be lost. Plus it is a beautiful purse with rich colors.
