Woolen shoulder bag
by
Α beautiful, finely woven shoulder bag, handcrafted by an artisan from the Chahuaytire community.
Materials & Design
It features traditional patterns with a modern touch (the same on both sides), and it has a rather large decorative fringe. It is open at the top.
The yarn is 100% sheep wool, dyed with natural, handcrafted colors:
- Variations of blue come from the indigo plant.
- Variations of green come from the chillka plant.
- Variations of yellow come from the q'olle plant.
- Variations of red, orange and purple come from the cactus insect cochineal.
Dimensions
It is 20 cm (7.87") tall and 24 cm (9.45") wide, with a 16.5 cm (6.50") fringe extension. The strap is 128 cm (50.39") long with a drop height of 62 cm (24.41").
Natural alpaca textiles should be hand-washed in cold water using shampoo or mild detergent. Let them dry on a flat surface so that they don't loose their shape. Dry cleaning is also an option.
After drying, they are best treated with a vaporizer. They can also be ironed, carefully to not stretch them unnaturally as they may lose their shape.

The perfect shawl!
by Maria B.I am really excited with this purchase! The material, mostly alpaca, is really high quality; the thread is very fine and it is soft at the touch, more than I would expect from a woven product. The colors come from natural dyes and yet they are more vivid than I expected.
