I’ve been shopping at Novica for the last 4 years. I love the unique items, reasonable costs, and helping the artists make a fair profit on the goods they worked so hard to produce.

— Vandna Rani

Handmade items support artists and that makes me feel honored to have a piece of their heart.

— Julie Lynn Wasson

Handmade means the person designed and took time to create, which makes it unique and far more interesting than massmade items.

— Annette Duran

Handmade pieces feel alive — they tell a story, hold emotion, and bring warmth that no factory could ever create.

I discovered Novica many years ago. I love Novica’s mission and the opportunities it provides to so many artisans around the world.

I have been shopping at Novica for years. Love that everything is handmade and that each purchase makes a difference to that artist.

Great gifts at great prices. What’s not to love — a great artisan-made gift for the same or lesser price than commercially-made, mass produced. This is better all around.

About this Item

Inca-inspired patterns add unique charm to this handcrafted 100% alpaca shoulder bag. The artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco start from scratch to create it--raising the alpacas and llamas to obtain the fleece; shearing, dyeing and spinning the wool; and weaving the textile on a traditional waist loom. The fully-lined bag closes with a zipper and features an interior zipper pocket.

Just like pictured in photo”

This sling bag is very well made with a nice zipper. It is the size listed but I wish it were 20% larger. I will keep it.

Beautiful bag and perfect size!”

The bag looks exactly as shown. However, there is NO inside zippered pocket as said in the description. I really wanted the inside pocket (that was one of the selling points for me), but will keep the bag since it is beautiful and just the right size, which is why I only gave 4 stars instead of 5. The description needs to be amended so that no one else is misled.

When a minimalist bag is all that's needed
