gifts for lady friends

An old song of the Ayacucho region has the retama flower, also known as the weaver's broom, as one of the principal elements of its lyrics, made in honor of those who courageously endured the darkest times of the country. Inspired by the brave spirit and culture of the Andes, artisan Waldo Berrios creates a reversible scarf featuring the flower in a palette of black and red hues for an intense style. The accessory is crafted from an alpaca, acrylic and wool blend, adding a soft texture to the design.

This curated gift set invites you to celebrate autumn with a series of exquisite fashion statements.

To finish this selection, Rosario Ramirez immortalizes natural flowers in a pair of resin-coated button earrings.

Supple leather in a rich camel shade is used for this smart belt from Peru's Kathiana Quispe. The belt features inset panels of hand-loomed wool with traditional Andean motifs. A brushed silver-toned buckle completes the design.
