Suede-accented wool shoulder bag, 'Inca Inspiration'

Impeccable Craftsmanship
In the card that accompanied this purse, Kathiana mentioned that starting out on her own was a difficult decision. It may have been difficult, but it was the right decision. She is incredibly skilled and I sincerely hope she is able to continue creating her beautiful pieces. I couldnt wait to receive this purse and when I opened the package, it did not disappoint. I love everything about it! From the rich colors to the leather fringe - I treasure its uniqueness.
Leather sling, 'Tumi Cosmovision'

A Handbag With Ancient Symbols, a Must!
When I saw this handbag with the pre-Hispanic symbols, I knew that I wanted one. Then when I looked at the close views of the workmanship, I was sold.When I received the handbag, I knew that I had made a great choice. The leather tooling is outstanding and the bag is very well made.The shoulder strap is very long so I will probably have it shortened by a leather craftsman from my area. I havent decided yet.
100% alpaca shoulder bag, 'Mists of Cusco'

Authenitc from Cusco
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.
