Peruvian artisan Maria Ramos Sanchez handcrafts this mini shoulder bag with an arpilleria style front, in which cotton blend felt is appliquéd and embroidered to create an elaborate scene. The artisan creates an Andean scene with a loving couple surrounded by flowers enjoying a mountain view under a sunny sky. This lovely, brightly-colored scene is on a saffron-colored background, and the back and lining of the bag are black. The single compartment is secured with a zipper and a long, colorful strap makes it easy to carry the bag over the shoulder or across the body.

"I almost framed it and hung it on the wall as art!"
This is a lovely little bag. I use it to hold my cell phone when I go out and dont need a large purse. I highly recommend this charming bag.

"What a treat!"
The parrots and big cat are my favorite things about this! You can hang it up as a tiny art piece or use for pencils. But it is much too nice for that! Lovely craftsmanship on this. Thank you

"Beautiful Arpillera Wall Hanging"
When I visited Peru as a student I was enchanted by the arpillera tapestries. I bought several but ended up giving them all away so I was pleased to find this beautiful arpillera wall hanging at Novica. I love this colorful and peaceful scene and the attention to detail. María Ramos Sánchez does beautiful work and I hope she will make more arpillera wall hangings.
