A feat of weaving genius, this shoulder bag (with its front pocket, called a nunu) is one continuous piece of weaving! The bag is woven using the complex discontinuous warp technique. This traditional style was thought to have been lost, but was recovered in the Mapacho River Valley in the 1990s.
This product was hand-woven in the community of Pitukiska using 100% natural and organic local alpaca fibre, and is undyed (all of the colours are naturally occurring colours from the alpacas themselves).

All of our products are fairly traded, which means the indigenous women weavers that make these products are paid a fair price for their work and expertise. All additional proceeds from sales are reinvested into the community through a Community Development Fund and a youth scholarship program. By purchasing Mosqoy Peruvian Textiles, you are contributing to the preservation of deep cultural knowledge and traditions practiced for centuries in the Peruvian Andes.
