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.

Ive been using this wallet for more than a year now. While the leather has taken on a worn quality it remains in as excellent a shape as it was when I received it. The stitching has held up perfectly and there is no fraying on the cut leather edges. This has been an extremely good purchase, I would definitely buy again, but the quality is so high that I dont anticipate needing to for a long time.Worth every penny.
