Otavalo Textiles
In Otavalo, Ecuador, textile-making is part of everyday life. Producers and artisan communities often work on a small, family-farm scale, raising alpacas and weaving wool using traditional methods passed down through generations.
These ponchos were purchased directly from an artisan in Otavalo, maintaining a close connection to the people and place they come from.
The alpaca wool used in these pieces is sourced through practices that prioritize the well-being of the animals. Alpacas are shorn gently, typically once a year, in a way that keeps them cool and healthy - never harmed.
These are not mass-produced goods. They carry the rhythm of where they come from: woven slowly, with care, and meant to last.
