Patricia Anaya "My vision is for all of us to grow together through this small family enterprise, offering our art and sharing our knowledge." "I was born in Cuzco in 1960, and I grew up in a very interesting home environment because my mother, who was a literature teacher, loved Peruvian art. She was always helping artists in the San Blas neighborhood, especially those specializing in textiles, since our family owned a weaving workshop. On the other hand, my father, who was a chemical engineer, was always teaching me the scientific approach to the origins of life, and so on. "In 1993 I began to run our family workshop. Our specialties are alpaca wool weaves with a distinct Peruvian accent, elegantly influenced by today's fashion sense. "I am interested in sharing my good fortune with others, especially with people who are physically challenged, and unwed teenage mothers. I teach them in the areas of textiles and general education. My vision is for all of us to grow together through this small family enterprise, offering our art and sharing our knowledge."

Tambien yo me llamo Patricia....te quero decir que estoy encantada con la ruana, Andean Terra, que compre. Esta hecho con mucho calidad y ha recibido muchos cumplimentos quando me lo pongo. Eres una artista muy fina.....gracias! - Patricia D. B, Pecos,NM USA I gave my wife one of your 'Natural Elegance' alpaca ponchos. She adores it. It has a classic, modern look that one does not traditionally expect from South American artisans. You mentioned that the wool is natural and "coarse," but it hard to imagine a fabric softer or more fluid. - Terry K, Bend, Oregon, USA My wife was extremely happy with the gift of the ruana Ändean Blue. She now understands why I talked with such highly of the artisans of the Andes and for the colour combinations they are able to bring together in clothing as you do so well! We look forward to buying more of your collection soon! - Clive R., Australia Thank you , Patricia, for making such beautiful scarves.
