functional apparel

Designed by Kathiana Quispe, this Peruvian sling makes an excellent companion on your journeys. It is handcrafted of leather in black and red with Inca-style embossed designs, resembling a saddle bag that drapes over the shoulder on an adjustable strap. A colorful wool panel accents the front flap, which opens with a buckle to reveal a small pocket in front of a larger main compartment.

Wear this bag any way you like. Kathiana Quispe crafts it with two different removable straps that will allow you to wear it as a shoulder bag, crossbody, wristlet, or an elegant evening clutch. She mixes the colors and textures of smooth tobacco leather with a tooled geometric pattern along the flap's edge. This bag is fully lined and comes with a flap magnetic closure, a zippered interior pocket, and an adjustable strap.

Katiana Quispe's work mixes the old traditions of her native Cusco with functional, modern designs. She learned the art of tooling leather from her father and uses Andean textiles as inspiration for her work.
