Weaving time: 1 month and 1 week This women’s poncho, woven on a backstrap loom by a master weaver from the community of Parobamba, Cusco, is a living jewel that speaks with threads. Soft as the whisper of the Andean wind, it is made of 100% baby alpaca, a noble fiber that caresses the skin as if it were light. During a month and a week of sacred labor, the weaver intertwined patience, memory, and artistry, following the ancestral technique inherited from the time of the Inca. The colors, dyed with dye plants native to the Andes that sprout from the earth itself, are pigments of history, ritual, and landscape. This poncho not only shelters, it transforms. It is a symbol of identity, an embrace from Pachamama, a textile prayer. Winner of the UNESCO Seal of Excellence, it is a unique, exclusive, and exquisite piece, created not only by hand, but by the soul. To wear it is to carry centuries of wisdom, a legacy woven with love, strength, and beauty that cannot be repeated, only inherited with respect.
