Standard commission timelineEach commission follows a clear path so you know what to expect at every stage. The timeline below reflects a typical custom order for a curated textile collection, from the first conversation to the moment the pieces arrive at your door.
We start with a call or email to discuss your space, palette preferences, and the mood you want to create. Share photos of the room, dimensions, and any reference textiles you admire. This helps us narrow down regions and techniques before we involve the workshops.
Based on the brief, we pull pieces from our catalog or commission new work with partner weavers in Cusco, Ayacucho, and Puno. You receive a shortlist with provenance notes, dye sources, and estimated weaving time for each option.
Once you confirm the selection, the workshop begins. Each piece is documented with photos of the loom, the dyer's palette, and the weaver's name. You get progress updates and a certificate of fair trade and origin when the work is complete.
Before shipping, every textile is checked for tension, colorfastness, and finishing details. We photograph the final piece in natural light and send you a preview for approval. Any adjustments are made at this stage, not after delivery.
Pieces are rolled, wrapped in acid-free paper, and shipped in reinforced tubes to avoid creases. You receive tracking and care instructions. For large collections, we can coordinate white-glove delivery and placement guidance.
Textiles need simple, specific care to last generations. We provide cleaning recommendations, sun-exposure notes, and re-tensioning advice. If a piece ever needs repair, we connect you with the original workshop or a trusted restorer.
Three formats for sourcing Andean textiles, each with a different level of involvement. Choose the one that fits how you plan to use the pieces.
A hand-picked set of tapestries, runners, and cushions matched to a palette or region you specify. Each piece arrives with its provenance card, technique notes, and fair trade certificate. Best for a single room refresh or a focused purchase.

Check the termsServices for collectors and interior studios
Each textile arrives with a traceable record: workshop name, region, weaver, dye sources, and hours of loom work. Useful for galleries, hotel buyers, and private collectors who need verifiable history for their acquisitions.
We assemble shortlists by color family, origin, or technique. A designer working on a terracotta-heavy interior can request a focused edit of cochineal-dyed tapestries from Ayacucho without sorting through the full catalog.
For projects that need a specific size, motif, or color range, we coordinate directly with partner workshops. Lead times depend on the complexity of the pattern and the availability of natural dyes, typically four to ten weeks.
Every shipment includes handling instructions specific to alpaca fiber, natural dyes, and backstrap construction. We also provide guidance on placement, light exposure, and cleaning so pieces keep their structure over decades.
Workshops we represent are audited for wage transparency, safe working conditions, and reinvestment in the community. Certification documents accompany each order, confirming that the purchase supports the weaver directly.
Our team reviews room photos, material samples, or mood boards and suggests specific pieces that match the existing palette and texture. This service is practical for boutique hotels and interior studios refining a space.
