100% alpaca shoulder bag, 'Inca Sunrise'
By Laura
Aptly named, beautifully finished
This or others in this series (as I appreciate the colors and feel so much) are a comfortable, constant companion. I wear it cross-body.
Appliqué mini shoulder bag, 'Love in the Mountains'
By Marnie
I love this sling bag and its title Love in the Mountains!
This is one of many items I have purchased from Ms. Sanchez, including a cell phone bag, a coin purse, a wall hanging, and a pencil case . She is an extremely talented and imaginative artisan. I love her title and the couple she has put on the bag loving their mountains and each other. Her portrayal of the beauty of her country delights me and makes me wish I could visit Peru. If you study her applique work you will find many interesting and beautiful things. I truly love everything she has made and sent to me, and I thank her.
100% alpaca shoulder bag, 'Mists of Cusco'
By Cathleen
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.
