creative gifts

This bright and beautiful Zapotec area rug is created by Mexico's Juan Contreras Garcia. Artisans weave the rug from pure wool yarns on a traditional pedal loom in a colorful diamond pattern. Fringe accents both ends.

Inspired by the styles of the Andean mountains, Peruvian artisan Waldo Berrios creates this fashionable scarf. This scarf is knit from a luxuriously soft alpaca blend, which features contrasting hues of black and pumpkin that create zigzags and circle patterns.

Weaving is an ancient tradition in the Andes, and handwoven Inca textiles were more highly prized than gold. Carrying on the legacy, Eliazar Ochoa creates an intricate cushion cover of dazzling beauty. His motifs are inspired by ancient Andean art, executed in a woolen palette of glowing warmth.

The chakana or Inca Cross is an ancient symbol representing the empire's traditional worldview, symbolizing the union and communication between the natural and spiritual worlds. As a sign present in many classic artworks, Peruvian artisan Waldo Berrios draws inspiration from the figure and creates this alpaca blend hat in a palette of warm and dark hues, with a soft surface that makes it a cozy accessory perfect for this winter.

Mexican artisan Marco Bautista finds a true passion in the act of weaving, a process that brings him closer to nature, reminding him of the relationship he shares with the animals and landscapes of his country. He creates this clutch handbag with a handwoven Zapotec design from 100% wool. He decorates the piece with geometric motifs in antique white, black, and Caribbean blue against a body of sunrise orange. The handbag opens with a zipper to reveal a polyester lining in black with an open side pocket.
