I bought this bag over the summer of 2015 and it has served me well. I dont carry a lot around with me and have always hated not having a small enough bag for just a few things. This bag is the perfect size for me and the embroidery on the front is beautiful. I get compliments about it all the time. Its the perfect size for someone who is looking to carry a little bag instead of a purse but not a huge travel bag.

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.

Love the dark, earthy shades. It is nicely made, not just a side and bottom seam construction. Closure is a clay button with a braided loop. Goes with many fall, transitional pieces, including jeans.
