Pacha, Earth

Pacha is the earth. Greens and teals pulled from valley and moss, grounded on dark cloth. It is the family of the wet side of the mountains, where the altiplano drops toward the forest and everything turns green at once.

The colours

The Iquitos is forest-green twill with a handwoven stripe brim in green, gold and red; the El Alto a deep green-and-gold stripe on black, full weave, flat brim; the Cochabamba messenger bag is cut from green cloth with a vivid stripe. Green leads, gold and red follow.

Cut from Pacha

Pacha is the family with a kids size in it, on the Iquitos, and the one that reads quietest from a distance and loudest up close.

Pieces: Iquitos, El Alto, Cochabamba. See the whole collection: Pacha.
