Andean Mountain Couple Cotton Blend Appliqué Shoulder Bag 'Love in the Mountains'

Peruvian artisan Maria Ramos Sanchez handcrafts this mini shoulder bag with an arpilleria style front, in which cotton blend felt is appliquéd and embroidered to create an elaborate scene. The artisan creates an Andean scene with a loving couple surrounded by flowers enjoying a mountain view under a sunny sky. This lovely, brightly-colored scene is on a saffron-colored background, and the back and lining of the bag are black. The single compartment is secured with a zipper and a long, colorful strap makes it easy to carry the bag over the shoulder or across the body.
