Full Description
Our Woven Rosa textiles originated from the breathtaking highlands of the Sacred Valley region of Peru. Here, weaving is entwined into the culture and artisans are holding on to their ancient knowledge and techniques educating younger generations.
Weaver’s can spend weeks and sometimes months creating their artwork which is handwoven on back-strapped looms. Each loom roughly measuring 1 metre wide (depending on the arm span of the artisan) which creates frazadas with a similar width, the larger pieces are then constructed by joining two together. The array of colours that are used in Andean textiles are all sourced from the earth, different colours tell different stories that reflect their heritage which can be traced right the way back to the Inca’s.
