Order Apu Salkantay (Purple) Scarf, Hand Woven Scarf, Alpaca Wool Scarf

Each collection of scarves has the name of the sacred mountains (the Apus) of the Peruvian Andes. The Apu Salkantay collection features a tricolor pattern in bright, bold colors.

The scarves are handmade by the Amaru weavers of Pisac, Peru. All scarves are 100% alpaca wool fibers and plant-based dyes, so you get breathable warmth with no synthetic irritation. And even though each scarf is tricolor, you'll notice that every design is unique. You scarf is one-of-a-kind.

For the Amaru women, weaving by hand is a sacred tradition. Traditionally it has been the women's role to create these textiles while the men would tend to the land.

They fight to preserve this task that has empowered them, and are proud to pass on the order art of hand weaving to the children in the community.
