Whenever I want to create something new and interesting, I look my beloved Peru for inspiration ? our cultural diversity, colors and customs.
My motivation comes from a desire to show the world the qualities of this beautiful fiber that nature has given us. Id like people to know whats behind every single piece of alpaca apparel, the chain of people involved, the communities and families, the respect for their rights and our support for the preservation of the environment and its resources.
