100% alpaca shoulder bag, 'Mists of Cusco'
By Cathleen
Authenitc from Cusco
I just got back from Cusco, Peru. I bought beautiful pillow covers but wanted a few more authentic handwoven items. I KNOW this purse is authentic, and it is well made. I visited weaving cooperatives and recognize the natural colors and designs. It has a sturdy lining and a nice inside pocket with zipper. I use it for my everyday purse, I like the size. I dont like a big purse. It is important to me that the weavers of the Peruvian Andes get support to continue weaving. Tourists have not returned to this area and these traditions will be lost. Plus it is a beautiful purse with rich colors.
100% alpaca shoulder bag, 'Inca Sunrise'
By Laura
Aptly named, beautifully finished
This or others in this series (as I appreciate the colors and feel so much) are a comfortable, constant companion. I wear it cross-body.
Handwoven cotton jacket, 'Kartini Emerald'
By Dianne
Fabulous!
I received the Emerald today and just ordered the grey one, thats how much I love it! I bought the XXL size and its equivalent to a womans size 26. The main body is nicely lined with a black fabric. There are 2 pockets, one in each side seam. I like that it isnt flimsy, nor too heavy, just a good weight. The gift wrap is really cute and I managed to save it without tearing it so I can reuse it. The bird decoration on it is adorable and I will use it as a tree ornament, so it was like an extra gift! My thanks to Ully for such a unique and stylish treasure.
