PLEATED BAGS are some of those fantastic bags that are bigger on the inside than the outside. Think of the design kind of like a pleated skirt, except it’s a closed at the bottom so it’s a bag! They’re fully lined with an interior zippered pocket and a sturdy zipper at the top, featuring double strap handles and a padded bottom so it’s very durable. I love these bags for over the shoulder, and they’ll fit a typical tablet and its charging accessories, plus an assortment of other things you might want to take with you for a day out and about. The zippered opening is about 12″, the bags are about 12″ tall, and the padded base is 6″ x 9″.

These amazing textiles are woven by hand on backstrap looms in a variety of CTTC’s member associations, using from yarn that is spun by hand with drop spindles in the traditional Peruvian method stretching back thousands of years, and dyed by hand with natural dyes using sustainable practices and materials local to the Andes of the Cusco region.
