Our Inca Collection honors traditional Andean techniques passed down through generations. These methods are far more gentle and hands-on than the processes typical of modern clothing production. Our sweaters are still dried by the Andean sun and washed in basins. These practices are gentle on the environment, using minimal energy and resources. Each sweater in the Inca Collection is made by hand, embracing a thoughtful approach to the craftsmanship and symbolism behind each design.
