The 1821 Leather Bag

The 1821 Leather Bag

I believe in supporting our local economy and try to only work with US made materials. When traveling however, we enjoy supporting local artisans.  

On a recent adventure to Peru my partner did just that and returned with great stories and beautiful Alpaca wool belts crafted by a Women's hand weaving cooperative in Chinchero Peru, high in the Andes.

The belt used to secure this bag are dyed by hand using only natural products. Please check this video out and see the weaving and dying process! http://vimeo.com/65009214
