Delivery Estimate
Peruvian artist Maria Ramos Sanchez crafts a charming cosmetic bag whose scene transports us directly to the Andes on a calm, sunny day. Small homes nestled among trees and flowers accompany grazing alpacas, while a single cloud and a flock of birds float overhead. The applique case with embroidered details is lined in solid black, and the reverse side is black.

"Bright Colors and Great Detail"
I found myself drawn to the meticulous detail in this zippered cosmetic bag by Maria Ramos Sanchez. I love the grazing Alpaca under a bright sun. I also appreciate that this case came with free gift wrap that includes a tiny worry doll adorning the ribbon bow. I now have a practical, attractive gift that I know will be appreciated by someone who is dear to me.

"too pretty for pens"
I purchased this to carry my pens but when it arrived it was just too beautiful to be tucked away in my bag so I put it up on my wall. The craftmanship is spectacular and I just love looking at it.

"I was a little nervous when I offered this to my brother and sister-in-law"
as a hanging for the nursery a few months before their first child was born. But my sister-in-law is a big traveler and it was fine for a boys or girls room, so I offered it. She was delighted and her mom designed the babys room around it (llamas on the curtains!). They used it for both kids. One would regularly insist on being held up to look at it carefully after a diaper change. I always try to be a cool auntie. This wall hanging was my first success.

"Beautiful and Functional Cell Case"
Ms. Sanchezs embroideries are both spectacular and functional. We have one of her wall hangings, which is very whimsical. Also Ive given several of these phone cases and also the cosmetic cases as gifts. The details of the images are wonderful. Im partial to the ones with flowers and animals. I use this case in particular to carry my phone around the house when I dont have pockets and it works great. Its nice to have something fun and beautiful that also has a practical use. Definitely one of your big fans. Thank you for making my life more interesting.
