beautiful handbags

Patterns inspired by ancient Inca textiles adorn this beautiful shoulder bag from Kathiana Quispe in Peru. The handloomed wool bag is complemented by long saddle brown suede fringe on both sides. The fully lined bag features a removable, adjustable suede shoulder strap.

Kissed by beige highlights and set amid verdant leaves, a golden brown rose is beautiful. This beautiful retro coin purse evokes those used a hundred years ago. The motifs are created with tiny seed beads, patiently applied by hand in a beautiful design from the Novica Collection.

The first thing you will notice about this generous tote bag are the distinctive straps made up of a series of loose cords that form a solid handle on top. Hand-woven from 100% cotton by members of the Women United for Artisan Development group in Guatemala, the bag is not lined, has no pockets and features beautiful patterns in mahogany and blue over an ivory base.

Woven by hand, beautiful textiles attest to the skill of Naga women, a tribal people from northeastern India and parts of Burma. The weavings are incorporated in this lovely bohemian black handbag from Chirada. Brown leather forms the straps and reinforces the bottom while red, white, purple, yellow and blue define the motifs. Inside, the bag is lined in brown faux suede fabric and features three inner pockets, one with a zipper.

Because each bag is a handmade work of art, the colours and motifs will vary slightly but the theme remains the same.

Fireworks explode in a shower of gold on both sides of this rich brown leather wallet clutch from Bali's Tuniyaton. The clutch is functional as well as beautiful, with a fabric-lined interior featuring 12 card slots, a zippered pocket for coins, and two open pockets for paper bills. A jaunty leather tassel adorns the zipper pull. The artisan names her creation after Prambanan, a temple in central Java.
