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 am sensitive to wool and although these are very soft, I wear cotton arthritis fingerless gloves underneath. I liked these so much, I returned to buy Anas Mountain of Seven Colors fingerless mitten also.
