One is yellow, black and brown, has a shoulder strap that is 1.25" by 39", and the other is green, natural ivory chambira color, black and yellow and its strap is 1" by 40". Both are made by an artisan from the Nueva Esperanza artisan collective.

Support native artisans 
& rainforest in the Amazon

Amazon forest loss is driving species to extinction, aggravating global warming, and robbing people of unique medicines, foods and other benefits. Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
