Rugged brown leather is embossed with Inca motifs and llamas to create this beautiful backpack from Peru's Kathiana Quispe. The leather is paired with hand-loomed wool fabric that features more Inca-inspired designs. Sling the bag over one shoulder, or unzip the wide strap to carry the bag like a backpack. The fully-lined interior includes a zipper pocket to keep small items secure.

This stunning backpack is the original creation of Kathiana Quispe in Peru. Crafted from supple black leather and accented with a handloomed wool textile with Andean motifs, the backpack features a roomy front zipper compartment and open pockets on the sides. The fully lined bag also has an interior zipper pocket and adjustable shoulder straps.

Combining soft black suede with tooled leather, Kathiana Quispe crafts a handsome backpack with Peruvian style. An inset of handloomed wool in the style of Cusco adorns the flap and an inner pocket closes with a zipper. Growing up, the Peruvian artisan had the privilege of watching her father work leather. Today she creates designs of her own with a focus on fashion.

Handwoven of a soft alpaca wool blend, this backpack features a body of solid crimson with rainbow stripe patterns. Members of Peru's Yurivilca Family design the bag, completing it with brown leather accents and adjustable straps. A lobster claw clasp holds back the top of the back, which when opened forms a bucket bag. The bag's main zipper opens to a cotton-lined interior with two open pockets at the side for storing and organizing small items.

Uzbekistan's Fatima Bilalova works with ikat textiles to create a handy complement for your daily adventures. The artisan combines cotton and polyester to create this backpack, whose classic pattern in blue hues makes the piece an enchanting design. The accessory has zippered pockets at the front and back, while the main zippered compartment is secured by a flap and a lobster claw clasp. As a touch of comfort, the straps are adjustable.
