wool

Preserving ancient methods and motifs, Victoria Quispe Mamani and the Hilando Victoria association create magnificent textiles. This all-wool wristlet is woven on a traditional backstrap loom in shades of russet, spice, amber, brown and army green. Supple brown leather trims the top and forms the wrist strap.

Handwoven of wool by Marco Bautista, this wristlet makes for the perfect companion on a night out. The artisan works in the style of Zapotec art, accentuating the poppy-colored bag with stripes and a cross design. It can be held with a removable leather strap, and opens with a zipper to reveal a lined interior.

Guatemala shows its tropical side in the elements that form this gorgeous wristlet by the Vida y Esperanza Women's Association. Composed of talented local artisans, this team combines leather in a tan hue with a striped cotton textile, whose palette of green and warm shades transports you to a serene evening at the beach. The accessory comes with a handy strap, and the interior, lined with polyester, has a zipper pocket and two generous compartments, all secured by a magnetic snap closure.

This gorgeous and versatile belt bag is from Peru's Kathiana Quispe, who crafts it from supple leather in saddle brown. The fully-lined bag features an external zipper pocket and an inset of traditional hand-loomed wool with Inca motifs. Both the adjustable belt and the wrist strap are removable, which means you can use the bag as a belt bag or as a wristlet if desired.

Peru's Kathiana Quispe designs and crafts this versatile bag with adjustable and detachable straps which allows it to be used over the shoulder, as a clutch, or as a wristlet. The black leather bag features a textile accent and a zipper pocket for coins or other small items.

Wear this bag any way you like. Kathiana Quispe crafts it with two different removable straps that will allow you to wear it as a shoulder bag, crossbody, wristlet, or an elegant evening clutch. She mixes the colors and textures of smooth tobacco leather with a tooled geometric pattern along the flap's edge. This bag is fully lined and comes with a flap magnetic closure, a zippered interior pocket, and an adjustable strap.

Katiana Quispe's work mixes the old traditions of her native Cusco with functional, modern designs. She learned the art of tooling leather from her father and uses Andean textiles as inspiration for her work.
