The shoulder straps feature a center zipper, so that the bag can also be slung over one shoulder if desired. The fully-lined interior features a zipper pocket for small items; the bag is secured by a magnetic snap.

The hand-tooled leather features an inset of colorful hand-loomed wool fabric with traditional Inca motifs.
