Pallay Iskay – handmade Aguayo backpack from Peru
The Pallay Iskay backpack by Mama Rosa Alpaka brings the colorful textile tradition of the Andes into everyday life. Traditional Aguayo or Frazada textiles are used for its design, whose contrasting patterns are typical of the Peruvian highlands. According to the supplier, the backpack is made by the artisan Freddy in Lima. Due to the handcrafted processing and the differently patterned fabric sections, each piece has its own character.
With its approximate dimensions of 44 × 31 × 13 cm, Pallay Iskay offers space for personal everyday items, a book, smaller purchases, or things for a stroll through the city. A zipper closes the main compartment. The black polyester lining complements the textile outer materials and creates a clear contrast to the colorful exterior.

What is Aguayo?
Aguayo refers to colorful, traditionally woven textiles from the Andes. Typical are striking stripes, recurring patterns, and distinct color contrasts. Such fabrics are closely connected to the regional weaving art and are used for various textile items. Depending on the origin and design, fibers from llama, sheep, or alpaca may be used. An exact percentage composition of the upper material is not specified for this backpack and is therefore not claimed.
Frazada and the Weaving Tradition of the Andes
The term Frazada is also associated with traditionally woven Andean textiles. Backstrap looms may be used in production: One end of the loom is firmly anchored, while the other is held by a strap around the body of the weaver. This technique makes it possible to produce characteristic fabric panels. The irregular interplay of colors and patterns is part of the handcrafted appearance and distinguishes the textiles from industrially uniform prints.
Handmade in Lima
According to the supplier, the backpack is made by the artisan Freddy in Lima. Traditional fabrics are combined with the other components of the backpack. The result is an accessory that combines the textile culture of the Andes with an everyday-ready bag shape. Since handmade products are not completely identical, small differences between product photos and the delivered item are possible.
Format and Use
With approximately 44 cm in height, 31 cm in width, and 13 cm in depth, Pallay Iskay is a medium-sized backpack. It is suitable for personal items on the way through the city or on excursions. However, the dimensions alone do not allow for a binding statement regarding suitability for a specific laptop size, maximum carrying capacity, or special water resistance. There are no confirmed manufacturer specifications for such properties.

Care Instructions
Remove light soiling carefully with a soft, slightly damp cloth if possible. For a more thorough cleaning, the supplier recommends gentle hand washing with cold water.

If applicable, observe the care label on the product.
