We offer fine handwoven and knitted textiles from Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca, Puno, Peru, that have been fairly traded for solar supplies over a three-decade relationship. As a ceremonial family member, we are considered to be padrinos, co-parents, parents, and even grandparents within an extended family on Taquile. Our collection for sale includes wool and alpaca hats, ceremonial purse-bags, eyeglasses leashes, wrist ties, vests, and gloves. Visit our blog, email, or telephone for details on specific items.
As a textile artist, product designer, and collector of indigenous textiles, I focus on fine craftsmanship and indigenous textile traditions. I am owner, designer, and colorist for Fusion de Maya that specializes in one-of-a-kind scarves, shawls, and decorative pillows using various cottons, silk, linen, and bamboo, and chenille threads. The products are skillfully woven by indigenous weavers on traditional backstrap looms who belong to two weaving cooperatives in the highlands of Guatemala—Asociación Maya de Desarrollo and Fundación Tradiciones Mayas. Because of my association with these two fair-wage textile cooperatives, Mayan weavers are provided income opportunities while sustaining traditional practices.
