Above all Andina World pays respect to the craftsmanship 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 a truly unique, one-of handmade piece.

Weavers of Puno
This headband has been made by Don Tiodoro and the association he leads in the district of Palca. Made up of fifteen families of weavers, these families are heirs to traditional alpaca care practices, hand-spinned and dyed with vegetable inputs.
"Our raw material is the alpaca fibre. With it we make beanies, headbands, gloves, ponchos, from start to finish”
Made with higher standards. We preserve artisan craft by paying wages that average 2x the fair trade requirement.
Dry cleaning is the best option for removing stains or occasional cleaning.
Alpaca is a natural fibre. It is softer, stronger and warmer than merino and cashmere. Alpaca farming is sustainable, as alpacas are free roaming and shorn once a year. Alpaca fibre can last decades and it will bio-degrade at the end of its useful life.
