This unique, fair trade Peruvian Sallac Tote was made by indigenous artisans of the high Andes of Cusco. Featuring vertical stripes and intricate pallay (traditional hand-woven designs) in a gorgeous array of red, yellow and green, this tote is a rich example of the hand-dyed colors of the Andes. These colors are created through an age-old natural dyeing process using locally sourced plants, barks, and insects such as cochineal, the source of the deep red color. With a locally-sourced leather carrying strap and embellished with a fun and funky pompom adornment, this Peruvian Sallac Tote is sure to be a show-stopper this fall!

The Peruvian Sallac Tote is large and roomy, and can fit a small laptop or tablet, as well as all the things you need for a day out. It is fully lined with a zipper closure at the top, and even includes a convenient interior zipped pocket. A fun and practical addition to any wardrobe!
