Weaving Time: 2 months

This traditional poncho, a unique, fine, and exclusive piece, has been woven with soul by a great master from the community of Parobamba, Cusco. In the sacred silence of the highlands, for two months, her hands danced over the backstrap loom, intertwining threads of 100% baby alpaca, undyed, in the pure colors gifted by Pachamama: earthy tones, soft ash, ancient sand beige, and deep root brown.

Each strand is a whisper of time, a living memory descending from the mountains. The ancestral technique guides her fingers with inherited wisdom, creating not just a garment, but a woven spirit.

This poncho does not sing in vibrant colors, but in the calm voice of the earth—its stillness, its strength, its sacred balance. To wear it is to cover yourself with the skin of the Andes, with the pulse of the past that still beats. It is to carry a masterpiece that cannot be repeated, that will never be forgotten, that embraces with respect.

A poncho that not only warms: it honors, protects, and speaks with threads of the soul
