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.
Our artisan partners spend weeks and often 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) 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 natural local area, different colours tell different stories that reflect their heritage which can be traced right the way back to the Inca’s.

Quality & Care
Everything at Woven Rosa is handmade using natural materials, dyes & traditional techniques. Due to the nature of the products there may be signs of discolouration, blemishes & age; these slight imperfections should be a celebrated part of their story & is what makes them special.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight & rotate your rug to avoid fading & indentations. To keep them fresh, hoover rugs regularly with care & air them outside when needed.
Visit our Quality & Care section for more information on how to look after your rug.
