artisan hats

The mountains and landscapes of the Andes fill themselves with a myriad of colours in the spring season, inspiring their people to celebrate the gifts of Mother Nature. Fascinated by the stunning flora of the region, artisan Waldo Berrios crafts a hat from an alpaca, acrylic and wool blend, which adds a soft texture to the accessory. On top of that, the design is embellished with floral and leafy motifs in black and crimson hues for a vibrant style.

The chakana or Inca Cross is an ancient symbol representing the empire's traditional worldview, symbolizing the union and communication between the natural and spiritual worlds. As a sign present in many classic artworks, Peruvian artisan Waldo Berrios draws inspiration from the figure and creates this alpaca blend hat in a palette of warm and dark hues, with a soft surface that makes it a cozy accessory perfect for this winter.

Tradition, culture and pride motivate Waldo Berrios to craft a gorgeous accessory in honour of the famous Inca Empire, part of the artisan's culture and heritage. After choosing a palette of black and beige tones, Waldo creates this alpaca blend hat featuring a soft texture and a classic design reminiscent of the ancient textiles made by the Inca civilization.

The perfect accessory for a picnic adventure, this Guatemalan shoulder bag is handwoven of recycled plastic. Claudia Hernandez designs the bag for all those who enjoy the outdoors, working with family and local artisans to create it. It features a solid color in black with colorful, patterned stripes and straps. The lid opens to a roomy, unlined interior.
