spiral patterns

Drawing inspiration from the textiles of the ancient Inca, Peruvian artisan Waldo Berrios creates this stunning and lovely poncho. He works with a luxuriously soft alpaca blend, knitting this sleeved poncho to feature geometric spiral patterns in contrasting hues of russet and black.

Sunset hues illuminate the stark geometry of ancient temples, bathing them in pastel radiance. Handloomed wool finds form as cushion covers by Zosimo Laura. They invoke the spirit of the ancient Inca through bright, contemporary color.

The adventures that await already have the perfect companion, made with the intrepid spirit of the Andes. Artisan Kathiana Quispe uses leather to craft this versatile shoulder bag, made for a trip or for a vibrant day. With a back compartment and two pockets on each side, the design splits into two zippered bags with plenty of space, each with an interior pocket. The front hides another compartment under a flap, equipped with slots for cards and a pocket for coins. Accented with wool and alpaca textiles, the strap is also adjustable.

An old song of the Ayacucho region has the retama flower, also known as the weaver's broom, as one of the principal elements of its lyrics, made in honor of those who courageously endured the darkest times of the country. Inspired by the brave spirit and culture of the Andes, artisan Waldo Berrios creates a reversible scarf featuring the flower in a palette of black and red hues for an intense style. The accessory is crafted from an alpaca, acrylic and wool blend, adding a soft texture to the design.
