What are the different types of fibers we use?

The rapid adaptation of our Peruvian craftsmen allows them to work with all kinds of yarns and thus switch from vegetable yarns to synthetic yarns. This currently allows us to offer vegan or organic products.

What types of dyes do we use?

The natural dyes at hand are mainly those of vegetable origin, such as plants, bark, flowers, fruits, seeds, etc. These dyes allow a palette of varied colors and warm shades: browns, oranges, ocher through yellow and green. For the most intense colors, such as red and blue, we need dyes like cochineal and indigo. With these colorants we can obtain the other part of the color wheel, that is, red and blue in all their ranges.

A bit of history

Our Peruvian fabrics represent the oldest art in Peru which is textile art. Textile art is an art that was born before ceramic and metallurgical art. The oldest fabric remains date back to over 6000 BC and were found in the pre-ceramic settlement of Huaca Prieta, on the northern coast of Peru.

Our ancestors before the Inca culture were already ecological since the technique of vegetable dyeing of cotton, an organic fiber, also dates back to thousands of years before J.C.
