Chinchero Skies Backstrap Handwoven Blue and Red Alpaca Shoulder Bag

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(31)

Patiently handwoven on the backstrap loom, ancient motifs recall the splendor of the Inca empire, when such textiles were more highly prized than gold. Artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco craft a handbag of timeless beauty, combining blue and with two shades of red on a dark blue background. They name their design for Chinchero, where time seems to have stood still for centuries and the Quechua language is spoken and seek to keep the old textile traditions alive.

The community raises and cares for its own alpacas. The fleece is washed, carded and spun by hand using a pushka, or drop spindle. The dyes come from plants, nuts and tree bark. The next step is one of the most important, as the artisan prepares the warp, or vertical threads for the backstrap loom. This determines the size of the textile, the color combinations, and the patterns that will be woven.

The intensity of color can vary depending on the hardness of the water, the altitude and the local dye sources, making each textile a unique piece of handcrafted art. The bag is fully lined and opens to reveal a convenient zipper pocket.

Earth Dove Brown Textured Handwoven Alpaca Blend Morral Shoulder Bag

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(31)

Crafted by hand, this delightful morral combines rich textures with red, white and rich earthen browns. Artisan members of Peru's Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco first knot the yarn before it is woven on a backstrap loom. The motifs derive from Inca art in an effort to keep the traditional patterns and techniques alive as well as their Andean identity. This texture is known as urpi, which means "dove" in the Quechua language.

The community raises and cares for its own alpacas. The fleece is washed, carded and spun by hand using a pushka, or drop spindle. The dyes come from plants, nuts and tree bark. The next step is one of the most important, as the artisan prepares the warp, or vertical threads for the backstrap loom.

My go-to bag for practical beauty

I get lots of “wow!” compliments when I carry this purse. The colors are beautiful and the pattern is complex. Overall, this purse is very pleasing to the eye, and also to the touch (not scratchy on your shoulder). The dark blues and burgundy hues are so sublime. Highly recommend!

Happy With This Purchase!

I am very happy with this alpaca cardigan sweater. I usually don’t like how I look in red, but this is not a “fire-engine” red and it looks very good with my fair coloring. I always wear a top under it, so that it doesn’t itch. It is very well made.

Extremely versatile sweater

This alpaca cardigan is great for between season wear and is made warmer if you wear a long-sleeved item under it in the dead of winter. I love the fringed bottom and the fabulous colors that work for both warm and cool color types. Beautiful and well done piece. Fits well with my indigenous clothing collection.
