The back and lining of the pencil case are black and the single compartment is secured with a zipper.

"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.

"Perfect for phone and cash"
Love it and got a lot of compliments. Only issues were that it pills easily over time and the metallic thread in the strap breaks off and comes out.
