"I like this but didnt love it"

The feel of the fabric is great. For some reason the color looks a little bit duller in person. I had hoped that it would have more red and more vibrancy. But Im sure it will be fantastic when winter comes. The pattern / stitch is lovely.

"Beautiful scarf!"

I?m so pleased with this scarf. The colour is a deep rich red, and exactly matches the coat I bought it to pair with. It?s not a heavy scarf, but on the thin side. Yet it?s warm and comfortable to wear, even as an accent piece. Happy customer!

"Buyer Beware!!"

I ordered this item and received it today. It is NOT 70% Alpaca and 30% Silk. According to the tag on the item I received It is 40% alpaca, 25% cotton, 25% modal and 10% nylon. I would have been happy if it was at least 70% Alpaca, but less than half of it is made of Alapca. I had reservations about ordering from this site for the first time and should have followed my instincts. It is extremely disappointing to spend so much money on one thing and get something else that is not equivalent to what I thought I was purchasing. This is false marketing. Do not be deceived!

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

Raquel and Gregor are dedicated to preserving the traditions woven into Peruvian culture from pre-Incan times. Like many before them, they learned their textile craft from elders in the community and they pass their knowledge to the younger artisans who work with them. Each piece produced in their workshop is woven on a wooden floor loom and finished by hand. Created from natural fibers — alpaca, cotton and silk — their work echoes the natural colors of the Peruvian landscape, reverberating with the rich hues of the mountains, the jungle and the coast.

Moving On Up

Moving On Up

Raquel and Gregor are deeply committed to building a sustainable workshop that offers a flexible supportive environment for the people who collaborate with them, most of whom are women. They have a special room at the workshop for the women to breastfeed or otherwise care for their children. Many of these women work solely for the purpose of being able to educate their children. Raquel and Gregor also have a deep respect for the environment and have installed solar panels in their workshop, a rarity in Peru.

Microcredit Financing

Raquel and Gregor has received 9 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $1400 and the most recent for $2850. Proceeds were used to buy more silk, cotton and alpaca wool for her shawls and accessories.
