vintage mantas that we lugged back from Peru:

Originally designed as cloaks, satchels, & blankets for mules these are now inspiring me for bags:

Kathryn and I returned from Peru on Sunday, where we spent several days sourcing fabric & getting inspired and several days in a tent on the Inca Trail.

We began in Cusco where we explored the beautiful neighborhood of San Blas (Check out Pacha Papa for lunch), day-tripped into surrounding towns for textiles (we scoured the markets for vintage mantas to use in Resort ’13 and sell on the new “Fortune Found” portion of our website), and lingered at the stunning Pre-Columbian Art Museum (“MAP”, complete with a glass-box cafe in the middle of a courtyard).

Then it was off to Ollantaytambo to begin our 28 mile trek. Four days (and many Hershey’s bars, steep hills, alpacas, water purification tablets, and cups of cocoa tea) later, we reached Machu Picchu. It was spectacular and breathtaking and I’m still thinking about it…

More updates to follow about our Peruvian purchases… But for now back to work till Jenny’s Jamaica wedding this weekend.
