The knowledge and know-how of the embroidery carried out in the Colca Valley have been declared National Cultural Heritage in Peru. This recognition highlights the technical wealth, as well as historical, traditional, and artistic values of the iconographical and symbolic content in their work.
Their embroideries are strongly rooted in their world view and are an important part of the empowerment process for the cultural identity of the Colca Valley population. We worked together with local artisans to preserve their technique used since ancestral times called the Maquinasca and developed together slippers in different colors, inspired in the symbols of their hats and skirts.
