ABOUT US / OUR ARTISANS
Pampacorral’s delicate weaves radiate the magic of  South  America

Our dedicated artisans work in Argentina, where their craft has been handed down through generations, ensuring that each product preserves textile heritage and its true art.  Rich with folklore, ritual and beauty, each piece is vibrant and unique. Our current production combines the richness of tradition with the demands of the fashion world.

The raw materials that we use include sheep and llama wool, cotton and silk. The artisan is involved in the creation of each piece from very early in the process. At times they even shear the llamas and sheep themselves so that the hue and quality of the wool matches demanding standards. Most of our fibres are hand spun on the “rueca” /rueka/, a South American foot-operated spinning wheel. In this way, each thread has the rusticity and beauty that the design deserves.

Our garments often showcase wool’s natural colours, although through bright dyes the fibres can be infused with magic and fantasy. The artisans’ craft flows from their hands to the loom where they weave the designer’s vision in a blend of coloured threads.

Each piece flaunts the sophistication of the design while preserving the value of heritage and tradition.
