Patricia Lopez creates this cozy warm taupe sweater from soft 100% alpaca and decorates it in a knitted diamond pattern. Vertical cables that flow down the sides and the upper arms add a flattering shape.

The Andean artisan worked for years as an industrial engineer before throwing in the towel to follow her passion for traditional Peruvian textiles and fashion. She runs a workshop in the capital city of Lima where she creates apparel and accessories that mix traditional and contemporary techniques and designs.

Like so many in Peru, designer Marita Cornejo had to leave her rural hometown for the city of Lima to make a living. But there she found her calling in fashion design. This light pink pullover is knit of a baby alpaca blend for softness and warmth, with a pointelle motif and an extra bonus — a waist drawstring to keep out chilly winds.

Take this beautiful tunic out on your next afternoon stroll. Antonio Cajahuanca designs and crafts the top from light, melon cotton fabric and decorates it with embroidered floral designs.

Antonio grew up immersed in the textile tradition of his hometown, deep in the Andes mountains. As an adult, he decided to combine his skill and knowledge with those from his sisters and start a workshop. Their designs combine natural materials with novel styles and techniques and draw inspiration from the culture and landscapes around them.
