Common Questions About Our Textile Catalog

How is each piece documented in the catalog?

Every textile includes its region of origin, the specific weaving technique used, the natural dye sources, and the approximate hours of handwork. This information appears on the product page so you can trace the piece back to the workshop and understand what went into making it.

What does fair trade certification mean for these textiles?

Certification confirms that the artisan cooperative received a fair price for the piece, that working conditions meet agreed standards, and that a portion of the sale supports community programs. We work only with workshops that can document this chain from loom to shipment.

Can I request a specific color palette or size for a commission?

Yes. Many of our partner weavers accept custom orders for wall hangings, table runners, and throws. Lead time depends on the complexity of the pattern and the availability of naturally dyed yarns, typically four to eight weeks. Contact us with your dimensions and reference colors.

How should I care for alpaca and handwoven pieces?

Dry clean or hand wash in cold water with a mild wool detergent. Avoid wringing and direct sunlight while drying. Natural dyes are stable but can fade over years of strong light, so rotate pieces or position them away from constant sun exposure.

Do you ship internationally for hotel and interior projects?

We ship worldwide with tracked courier service. For larger orders, we prepare consolidated shipments with proper customs documentation. Each piece is packed flat or rolled with acid-free tissue to protect the weave during transit.

Can I visit the workshops or arrange a studio visit?

Some cooperatives welcome visitors by appointment, especially in Cusco and Ayacucho regions. We can arrange a guided visit through our network, including a demonstration of backstrap weaving and natural dyeing. Write to us with your travel dates and group size.

What the catalog offers

Each piece in the collection is documented the way an interior designer would want it: origin, technique, weaving time, and fair trade certification are listed before you decide.

Provenance notes for every textile

Every wall hanging, runner, cushion, and alpaca blanket carries its workshop location and the region it comes from. You know whether the piece was woven in Cusco, Ayacucho, or Puno before it reaches your mood board.

Technique and material breakdown

Backstrap loom, natural dye with cochineal or native plants, alpaca versus sheep wool — the catalog states the construction method and fiber content plainly, so you can match pieces to your project's material language.

Weaving time and production context

Each listing notes how many hours went into the piece. That number gives a honest sense of why handwoven textiles carry the price they do, and helps you plan lead times for larger orders.

Fair trade certification status

Workshops are checked for fair wages and safe working conditions. The catalog marks certified cooperatives clearly, so buyers working with ethical sourcing requirements can filter with confidence.

Palette and region filters

Browse by color family — terracotta, indigo, ochre — or by geographic origin. The filters are built for interiorists who think in palettes first and for buyers who want to support a specific community.

Guidance for bulk and hospitality orders

Boutique hotels and studios ordering multiple pieces get notes on matching sets, custom sizing, and realistic delivery windows. The catalog is a working tool, not just a gallery.
