Details

The cool blues of this beautiful 100% alpaca shoulder bag evoke the Andean skies. The bag is crafted entirely by hand by the artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco. They raise the alpacas and llamas to obtain the fleece; shear, dye and spin the wool; and weave the textile on a traditional waist loom. The unlined bag closes with a zipper and features an interior zipper pocket and jaunty tassels on the bottom.

“Beautiful, well made and it Makes Me HAPPY!”

Every time I carry this purse I have women -- and one man who was looking for a birthday gift for his wife -- who LOVED this purse and asked where I got it. I gave them your website! And when I told them its alpaca, they were delighted and one squeeled, Oh, I LOVE alpaca! WOW! I think its great, and one thing I really like about it is that it holds my wallet, phone, a few other items--and then the purse says, Clean me out! The size is what I was looking for and then I found this BEAUTIFUL option. Abit pricier than I wanted, but worth EVERY PENNY! THANKS!

Beautiful tough feels wonderful to the touch Everyday use and party time too!

“Perfect size and well made”

Love the deep red color and glyph pattern. Quality workmanship. Perfect for carrying my large cell phone (iPhone 14 XL ) and essentials on my walks. This would make a nice present but Im keeping this one!
