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.

Energetic vibrancy and cultural significance come together in this captivating bucket bag crafted from leather in bright shades of red. Peruvian artisan Kathiana Quispe’s chic design is accented with a colorful handwoven alpaca blend fabric adorned with traditional Inca motifs. Boasting a long, adjustable strap, allowing you to wear it cross-body, a secure zippered closure, a fully lined interior and a convenient zippered pocket, this bag is not just a fashion statement but also a practical accessory for everyday use.
