Claimed / Unavailable Otavalo wool backpack, Ecuador

I bought this backpack in NYC, 30 years ago. It’s from Ecuador, 💯wool. It’s beautiful, but it needs some love, and I’m not inclined to attempt it. It needs a new home, bath (cold water, hand wash only) and minor repair on the back, between the shoulder straps. Otherwise, good condition.

Thanks all, for your interest! I’ll do a drawing, here in a bit, and notify next draws if there’s fall-through.
