REBIRTH - The Root of Rebirth

MULTIPLE COLORS AVAILABLE IN EACH STYLE!

Within the framework of the participatory workshops carried out by the consulting firm Isabel Huaman, "TOQAPU" from Switzerland, and with the design team headed by Laura Araujo from Trujillo and the active and creative participation of the artisans, the new line was born. "Renacer desde la raíz ", or “The root of Rebirth”.  Is inspired by agriculture, because it  plays a central role in Peruvian culture both socially and professionally, and because our lives adapt constantly to nature. "Siembra" or “Sowing” reflects the rebirth after the pandemic.

Recently, an archaeological find in the citadel of Chan-Chan, the Chimu world heritage site from which Chimuk was inspired, revealed clay tablets of the indigenous Chimu people depicting their cultivated fields from an aerial perspective. This not only aroused curiosity, but also motivated the team to look at these motifs from a different perspective and ultimately inspired this collection.

In co-creation workshops, the archaeological motifs of the Chimú were abstracted and reinterpreted by the artisans. With the support of the design team, they were prepared in such a way that the mothers themselves could produce their own creations. The result is a captivating collection of knitted winter accessories made of alpaca fibres and organic cotton with a contemporary character that does justice to the historical aspects of these millennia-old works, transporting them to the 21st century in a subtle way.
