artisan design

Hand knit using the intarsia technique, this cardigan sweater designed by Anaychay in Peru is stunning. The artisans use soft, warm 100% alpaca wool, a fiber highly prized by the ancient Inca. The front of the sweater features a bold graphic llama design in black, white, spice and emerald; the back is solid black.

Alpaca wool is a soft and warm material that makes elegant and comfortable creations perfect for winter. Working with this high-quality textile element, artisan Cesar Cano crafts a men's sweater in a black tone, enhancing the rhombus pattern along the design. Furthermore, it comes with a crew neck and long sleeves.

Based on the traditional chapan garment worn in Uzbekistan during the cold winter days, this sublime cotton oversized coat arrives from distant lands to continue a legacy of high-quality creations. Artisan Abduvali ornaments the design with a glorious ikat pattern, whose blue, black and white hues are arranged in a geometric pattern reminiscent of a labyrinth where glamour and elegance merge.

Block-printed stripes dance across this cotton tunic dress, where tradition meets contemporary flair in every carefully crafted detail. Designed by India's Ritu Agnihotri, it showcases a high round neckline punctuated by a bead-adorned slit, while practical side pockets blend seamlessly into the design. The real drama unfolds at the hemline, where a long, flared ruffle cuts asymmetrically to create beautiful movement with every step. Lace inserts at the skirt joints add an unexpected modern edge to the timeless block printing technique, making this dress a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship with a fresh perspective.

All you need to keep you warm, cozy and elegant this winter is a dapper sweater in a combination of black and azure hues featuring an openwork texture forming diamonds. Peruvian artisan Santos Cano designs the gallant crew neck garment made from a fine blend of alpaca, acrylic and wool yarns.
