Q'enqo Sweater | Pearl
Ñawi awapa translates to 'the eye of the textile'. The eye serves as a protector of the textile and the weaver. Traditionally, it is woven as a finishing detail that seals the edge of the textile.
We reinterpret this symbol by placing the ñawi awapa in a irregular manner across the sweater. It reflects the idea that the journey is never a straight path, but one shaped by bends, yet we are always protected.
In Quechua, this winding form is referred to as q'enqo.
Details:
- 100% baby alpaca
- Zero-waste machine knit by artisans in Chinchero, Cusco
- Hand-crocheted finishes on neckline
- Artisan credit on interior label
