Cusco Glyphs Hand Loomed Alpaca Shoulder Sling Bag

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(25)

Made entirely by hand, this beautiful contemporary bag showcases the ancestral weaving traditions preserved by the women artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco. The compact purse exemplifies the incredible time and dedication it takes to produce a handmade work of art. In the highlands they call home, before they can begin to weave the fabric for the bag, the women must first raise and shear the alpacas and llamas to obtain the wool, then dye and spin the fleece before it is ready to be woven into fabric on a traditional backstrap loom. From start to finish, the time taken to produce each bag spans the seasons. The fully-lined bag closes with a zipper and features an interior zipper pocket.

Cusco Dove Brown-Purple Textured Handwoven Alpaca Blend Shoulder Bag

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(25)

Crafted by hand, this delightful morral combines rich textures with browns, purple and navy blue. Artisan members of Peru's Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco first knot the yarn before it is woven on a backstrap loom. The motifs derive from Inca art in an effort to keep the traditional patterns and techniques alive as well as their Andean identity. This texture is known as urpi, which means "dove" in the Quechua language.

The community raises and cares for its own alpacas. The fleece is washed, carded and spun by hand using a pushka, or drop spindle. The dyes come from plants, nuts and tree bark. The next step is one of the most important, as the artisan prepares the warp, or vertical threads for the backstrap loom. This determines the size of the textile, the color combinations, and the patterns that will be woven.

The intensity of color can vary depending on the hardness of the water, the altitude and the local dye sources, making each textile a unique piece of handcrafted art.

Aptly named, beautifully finished

This or others in this series (as I appreciate the colors and feel so much) are a comfortable, constant companion. I wear it cross-body.

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 it's alpaca, they were delighted and one squeeled, "Oh, I LOVE alpaca!" WOW! I think it's 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!
