This ancestral poncho comes from the community of Raqchi, Cusco - home to the sacred Temple of Wiracocha. Woven in the presence of this powerful ceremonial site, it carries the warmth of the Earth and the light of the sun.

Handwoven with a blend of mature alpaca and sheep wool, and dyed with natural pigments from the land, it is a timeless piece full of depth and spirit.
