PROJECT NOVO ANDINA WEAVES AGAIN
¡VUELVE A TEJER!
Valuing and admiring our Andean legacy. NOVO ANDINA, undertakes sustainable fashion that allows us to know more depth textile techniques that are part of our cultural identity and be the bridge so that they can be reassessed. “Each piece is for us like a work of art, we co-create with our weavers and local artisans to refine the technique, combine colors and achieve beautiful designs that are bearers of ancient knowledge and positive social impact.

THE WOOL
​
Goes up and down, up and down, spinning at speed as it winds around the spinning wheel. Doing so requires a lot of skill and experience. It is an artisan process with techniques inherited from generation to generation, through instruments such as the distaff and the spindle... "the high Andean weavers spin while they are talking, taking care of their flock or walking. It is part of their daily work".
Had Animal fibers are dyed with natural dyes. They use the cochineal, roots, stems or flowers to achieve an infinite range of colors, from the most vibrant to subdued as pastel tones. "They work as a team during the process... and they do absolutely everything with enjoyment, with absolute dedication and patience.
There is no doubt that they are teachers in every way; they transmit their wisdom to us from what they do to how they do it." To co-create is to dream as a team! Our creation process is through co-creation.
We work as a team with high Andean weavers and local artisans to achieve unique pieces
TiSSUE
They stake four sticks in the ground to begin their journey towards assembling the cloak, with the technique that their grandmother and mother taught them.
After choosing their yarns, they combine and develop the design that they feel through a system of two threads that intertwine... and in its framework, with infinite patience, those thousands of years of abstraction that are part of their genetics and conscience.”
SYNERGIES THAT PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE LINKS
Our commitment to preserve ancestral textile knowledge seeks to revalue our culture and the value of what is handmade.

It is in each one of us to be curious and critical to inform ourselves where what we consume comes from, how it is made, who does it and under what conditions, and what impact it has on the environment.
Giving Opportunities
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Financial support from organizations and friends plays a critical role in our efforts to support this project .
​
Each and every gift makes a difference.
Our top priorities include increasing one-on-one support .
These women make ancestral fabrics since pre-Inca times that are Universal Heritage and today are becoming extinct due to the mass consumption of disposable textile products.
May there never be a lack of threads to weave our dreams
