Details

Beyond simply “inspired by,” the Heritage Collection was co-created directly with the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco—incorporating the artisans’ stories and traditions into each style—with 5% of sales going back to CTTC to support Quechua weavers and their families. This alpaca mitten’s Papa Tita pattern, or potato flower, symbolizes a gift from Pachamama—a spirit of the earth and a source of food in Inca culture. For us at PAKA, it also represents a shared respect for all life and the nourishment the planet provides. Sustainably made with the same yarn as our bestselling Hoodie, plus a smooth jersey interior, we hope this Peruvian mitten enhances all your cold-weather journeys.

A Story in Every Thread

After over a year of dreaming, designing, and collaboration, PAKA’s first-ever Heritage Collection is finally here. It started with a question: how can we co-create more closely with the Quechua artisans and Andes communities who make PAKA what it is, and honor their heritage?

Created in partnership with master weaver Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez and the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco (CTTC), this collection honors the Quechua weaving tradition - where every thread carries meaning, and each symbol tells a story.

As part of this collaboration, 5% of sales are returned to the weavers as royalties - a core belief that we must protect traditions and ancestral knowledge.

These aren’t just patterns — they’re reminders. These were symbols of protection in the Andes, and maybe we need those lessons now more than ever.
