Northern aguayos

An awayo (pronounced aguayo) is a rectangular garment used in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and northern Chile as a backpack, coat or adornment, particularly by women of indigenous descent.
Although it is native to the highlands, its use has extended to other areas such as Lima, Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz de la Sierra and the immigration of highland inhabitants.
Usually the aguayos are very colorful with stripes of colors that alternate and with stripes with simple figures.
