Handwoven, 100% wool textile is paired with natural leather to create a trendy, fair trade backpack. The fabric for this wool backpack was handwoven on the traditional backstrap loom by indigenous artisans from the Andean highlands of Peru, providing new economic opportunities to rural women and also helping to keep an ancient culture alive.
