Story Behind the art:
Update (June, 2019)

I come from a humble family of textile artisans and my first jobs were making sweaters that we sold later in a small store in Huaraz — an Andean city famous among tourists and mountain sportsmen. Everything went well until our town was hit by the earthquake of 1970. I didn't hesitate and, in a short time, my designs went from being exhibited in the small souvenir shops of Lima to filling the closets of thousands of customers around the world, who were satisfied by the quality of my work. This was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I would like the world to receive high quality apparel through my work, with modern colors and traditional motifs. I hope you enjoy them!

I have been working with you Since 2001. My workshop is located outside of Lima, a place of refuge for many immigrants who fled central Peru during the times of terrorism. Before this, I had a small workshop in an industrial park that the government gave me on credit, a place where small producers could work with dignity. It wasn't properly roofed, and its production capacity was limited. I designed and made clothing.

My market was limited to a few local shops, and to a single small foreign client who purchased my work from time to time. Now, thanks to you, my sales increased significantly, and my workshop began to undergo an enormous change
