"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God’s name is Abraxis"
$160.00
Each bag is entirely handmade in Peru's Valle Sagrado by Doña Alicia. Keeping alive the ancient techniques and stories of her ancestors, Alicia's hands are responsible for every step of these garments' creation. She sheers the alpaca, spins the yarn, gathers ingredients from the valley to prepare the natural dyes using ancient formulations, dyes all of her yarn, and then finally, weaves these garments. Traditionally, Quechua has no written language, rather their stories are woven into tapestries using symbology, colors, and patterns to embody the culture's narrative histories. Providing an economic incentive enables Alicia to keep this tradition alive and provides an opportunity to pass it along to the next generation; because of the market we have helped her connect with, she is able teach her daughter and other youth how to weave a viable future for themselves and their ancient traditions. All of the proceeds from these bags go directly to Alicia.
