wool

Preserving ancient methods and motifs, Victoria Quispe Mamani and the Hilando Victoria association create magnificent textiles. This all-wool wristlet is woven on a traditional backstrap loom in shades of russet, spice, amber, brown and army green. Supple brown leather trims the top and forms the wrist strap.

Mexican artisan Marco Bautista finds a true passion in the act of weaving, a process that brings him closer to nature, reminding him of the relationship he shares with the animals and landscapes of his country. He creates this clutch handbag with a handwoven Zapotec design from 100% wool. He decorates the piece with geometric motifs in antique white, black, and Caribbean blue against a body of sunrise orange. The handbag opens with a zipper to reveal a polyester lining in black with an open side pocket.

Growing up, Kathiana Quispe had the privilege of watching her father work leather. This formed the basis of her future work in fashion design as seen in this combination clutch and shoulder bag made of leather with a decorative panel inset of handwoven wool in the Cusco style. Both the shoulder and wrist straps can be detached. A zipper pocket inside keeps small items at hand.

Embroidered with delightful, colorful floral motifs, this beautiful clutch is designed by Peru's Milagros Campos. She works with local artisans, who hand-weave the clutch of soft alpaca yarns in graphite. This handbag opens with a pompom-accented zipper to reveal a lined interior for keeping your belongings.

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.
