Purple Handwoven Alpaca Scarf
Alpaca Hand-Woven Intricate Scarf
by Alejandrina Puma Huamanhuillca
(60 inches x 6 inches)
Wrap yourself in history, artistry, and warmth with this 60-inch by 6-inch alpaca hand-woven scarf, meticulously crafted by Alejandrina Puma Huamanhuillca, a 57-year-old master weaver from the remote Andean community of Huacahuasi, Peru.
Alejandrina’s hands have spent decades interpreting the stories, symbols, and natural rhythms of the Andes into intricate textiles using ancestral weaving techniques. Woven on a traditional backstrap loom, this scarf is a testament to generations of Quechua women whose wisdom lives in every thread.
Spun from 100% natural alpaca fiber, the scarf is luxuriously soft, breathable, and incredibly warm—ideal for both cool climates and year-round elegance. But what truly sets it apart is the delicate complexity of its design: interwoven motifs inspired by the mountains, the stars, and the harmony of daily Andean life. Each detail reflects Alejandrina’s deep connection to nature and her commitment to preserving cultural memory.
The scarf’s subtle, earthy tones are achieved through natural dyes sourced from local plants, roots, seeds, and minerals. Cochineal beetles lend shades of red, native flowers like qolle offer yellows, and mosses and barks contribute rich greens and browns. These colors are not just beautiful—they're sustainably harvested and symbolically meaningful, echoing the landscape they come from.
This scarf is not mass-produced. It is a one-of-a-kind garment, woven slowly, lovingly, and with soul. It carries with it the breath of the highlands, the wisdom of its maker, and the resilience of a culture committed to continuity through creativity.
By choosing this piece, you are directly supporting indigenous women artisans like Alejandrina, helping them sustain their traditions, families, and communities through dignified, meaningful work.
