Andina World, weaving life

ABOUT US

As a child, my parents used to take my brothers and I to visit communities and do social work in Peru. There I learnt that in Quechua (the Inca’s language) there is no word for friends, only for brother and sister. I was taught that the idea that we are all related is a beautiful way to look at the person next to you, to help him or her when in need.

With Covid-19 this thought became more present and I couldn’t stop thinking of all those artisans and Indigenous communities of the Andes of Peru who have just become more vulnerable as they rely on tourism. So, I decided to combine my passion for design and craftsmanship and work with local artisans and Indigenous communities of the andes of Peru to create unique handmade clothing and accessories.

Today all that work has resulted in Andina World.

Andina World has a lot of heart in it. We work with artisans from the far remote areas of Peru, with women who have few opportunities to earn an income and with people facing social challenges.

All our products are handmade. From our textiles tied naturally using native plants to our hand-loomed products using ancient Inca’s technique, we try to preserve ancestral techniques.

Above all, Andina World pays respect to the craftmanship heritage and the people behind every product. Meaning that all our items are fairly traded,as every artisan has received a fair and honest payment for their work.  

I hope that each Andina World piece adds warmth and beauty to your home and outfit for years to come and that you find on them a truly unique, one-of handmade piece.
