A quiet llama in a gracious meditative pose invites you to explore the Andean style, starting with Kathiana Quispe's newest accessory. The Peruvian artisan, known for her exquisite designs, presents this leather sling bag whose braided strap allows for a comfortable sensation. The piece, in a palette of warm hues, has a convenient snap closure—accented with floral details— and a zippered interior pocket, allowing you to enjoy your journeys with a carefree sensation.

Brave the winter chill with this eye-catching hat knitted from soft baby alpaca yarns. Inspired by the rich geometric motifs of Inca culture, Peruvian artisan Edison Canal blends hues of graphite, pearl grey, claret and white to create a striking accessory that keeps you cozy and stylish during the cold season.

With traditional motifs that echo the shapes of the Andes mountains, this 100% alpaca shoulder bag is a standout. The artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco craft it entirely from scratch--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.

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.

Women sit outside a monastery, their traditional garments flashing vivid colors and brilliant geometric. Francisco Guerreros uses passionate red along with black and bright yellow to create a harmonious dance of color on this brilliant ceramic vase.

The striking red background and contrasting colors that decorate this vase give it a unique visual appeal. In the distance, the eye picks up faint silhouettes of majestic mountains, and at the front of the picture, there is a modest home. Breaking the layers is a lush tropical green forest, punctuated by tall, yellow stalks. This is a beautiful piece by Francisco Guerreros.
