alpaca artwork

Peruvian artisan Violeta Pacheco puts all her creativity into a reversible design, ideal for these winter days. Working with baby alpaca yarns, the artisan knits a pair of gloves with a soft texture, featuring one side in an elegant turquoise tone and the other in a charming green hue.

In the open markets of towns throughout the Peruvian Altiplano, one can find stalls full of fresh flowers. Some of the blooms have been used for hundreds of years to create natural dyes, like the yellow kiko flower, part of the daisy family. Designed by Aldo Norero, this gorgeous reversible alpaca-blend cardigan is decorated on the front, back, and long sleeves with trailing kiko blooms and vines, featuring hand-embroidered embellishments on a blue and black base hue on each side.

The chakana or Inca Cross is an ancient symbol representing the empire's traditional worldview, symbolizing the union and communication between the natural and spiritual worlds. As a sign present in many classic artworks, Peruvian artisan Waldo Berrios draws inspiration from the figure and crafts this reversible alpaca blend scarf in a palette of warm and dark shades, with a soft surface that makes it a cozy garment perfect for this winter.
