Who Made This Handbag?  (From Start to Finish)

Meet the Kuskaya Team responsible for creating each carefully crafted and one-of-a-kind handbag. 

Designed by Ali

This handbag has a unique design that will never be repeated. It is designed by Ali, pictured in her studio, the founder of Kuskaya. Ali is inspired by the colors and patterns in Peru, reflected in her designs.

Handwoven by Master Weavers

The handbag's textile is handwoven by one of these expert weaver women using traditional techniques unique to their region. 

Sewn by One Man (Paul)

Once the textiles are completed, they are shipped from Cajamarca to Lima. In Lima, each handbag is given shape by Paul, who will sew each handbag with the utmost care and precision.

Exceptional Quality

Kuskaya textiles are made of the highest quality Pima Cotton yarn which is mercerized - a process that makes the natural fibers more luminous and strong. Each bag is given shape with premium Argentine leather.

Sustainability

Our Pima Cotton is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which is a leading standard in ensuring product safety. Practices in the production, harvesting, and spinning of the cotton are tested to ensure products are free of harmful chemicals.

The factory where the handbags are finished is WRAP (World Responsibility Accredited Production) certified. This means each step of production has been inspected and deemed ethical, lawful and safe.
