Delivery EstimateInspired by the archaeological treasure that is the Sacred Valley of the Inca, the artisans of the centre 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.

"Unique, artful, beautiful colors, and useful, as well!"
This handbag is absolutely beautiful! The colors are both gentle and calming (the blues and greens) and eyecatchingly bright -- (the beautiful berry/wine colored section down the center, which also incorporates lots of other colors.) This bag has a wonderful texture to it, as well. I love that it was loom-woven, and is also one-of-a-kind. Its sturdy, and a useful size, as well, and easily holds my (large) wallet, phone, and other necessities.

"Appropriate name!"
This is much roomier than the small shoulder bags, and can hold a wallet and papers as needed. Same soft feel and beautiful colors. A work of art.
Best Uses
- large enough to hold all the regular suspects for carrying around in a purse
