  • This is one of the warmest sweaters I have ever worn! Wish I would have had this when I lived in Colorado and was snowboarding every weekend. I really love the fact that the person who made it actually signed it

    - Matthew P.

  • This is as soft, light, and warm as they say - beyond my expectations! It's become my go-to for hiking, backpacking in cooler weather, and just snuggling on the couch when it's chilly inside.

The Inca Collection

Celebrating Peruvian heritage through traditional textile design.

Designed, knit, and signed by our team of artisans in Cusco, Peru.

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 crafted with practices that are gentle on the environment, using minimal energy and resources. Each sweater in the Inca Collection is still made by the original family of knitters that started PAKA with our founder, Kris, embracing a thoughtful approach to the craftsmanship and symbolism behind each design.
