Artisan Profile

This group consists of 80 small to midsize workshops scattered throughout Peru. Through their textile production, they aim to raise awareness and preserve Peruvian culture. They create annual collections that align with market trends and support artisans' growth with technical assistance, training, and loans. This transforms weavers into entrepreneurs and grants them access to the global marketplace.

In the earliest Peruvian history, the bond between the Incas and alpaca is evident. During the Inca empire, alpaca fiber was reserved for royalty due to its supreme quality. Alpaca is known for its suppleness and smooth texture, being softer than cashmere and both warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool. Its microscopic air pockets create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties. As a completely natural fiber, no harsh chemicals are used in its production.

Alpacas roam freely in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes, and the shearing process is harmless. Their soft padded feet are gentle on the terrain, and they graze without disturbing the root systems. Alpaca fiber offers up to 28 natural colors and can be blended into countless natural shades, from inky black to warm chestnuts and snowy white. It accepts dye easily while retaining its natural luster.
