Everyday bags, built around traditional textiles

Andean Blue designs everyday bags — backpacks, shoulder bags, and small carry pieces — using traditional Andean textiles in a way that works for modern life.

The bags are not handmade, but the textiles are central to every design. Each release focuses on making these materials practical, durable, and wearable beyond souvenirs or costume.

We don’t keep inventory. Instead, we release small batches through pre-order drops a few times a year.

Here’s how it works:

  • Each drop opens for a limited time
  • Orders are collected as pre-orders
  • Production only happens if a minimum is reached
  • Payments are processed securely through Shopify
  • If the minimum isn’t met, all orders are refunded

This approach lets us produce responsibly and avoid overproduction.

I’m a native Peruvian, and I’ve always been drawn to Andean textiles — not just for how they look, but for what they carry culturally. This project exists to bring those textiles into everyday objects that people actually use.

If you’d like more context about the materials, patterns, and where they come from, you can read the full story here.
