For thousands of years, weavings have been used as a language that expresses the deepest feeling of a culture. Bolivia is no exception to this tradition. The weavings of the Asociacion de Artesanos Andinos are handmade by the Quechua and Aymara peoples who live in the highlands of Bolivia at an altitude of 4.200 meters (about 13,650 ft). The Association is comprised of four weaving centers of Aramasi, Villa Pereira, Chuñu Chuñuni y Totora Pampa in the provinces of Arque and Tapacari in the Department of Cochabamba. The Association was originally created with the assistance of a weaving revival project begun in 1998 by the European Union. The Association became its own legal entity in December of 2004.

These handmade handbags represent an art form that is all but lost: the weaving of the Quechua people of Bolivia. Sheep's wool is painstakingly dyed with organic tints extracted from local plants. Then women in the local pueblos weave them in traditional patterns that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Seams and handles are also hand-woven to create a tighter, longer lasting edge that will not rip or fray. This is truely a one-of-a-kind high-quality product that will last a lifetime.
