The Weaves

We sort our cloth into six families and name them in Quechua, the language of the Andean communities whose aguayo inspires the pattern. Each family has its own page: the colours, what we cut from it, and the pieces themselves. The families are not regions and not seasons. They are the colour a length of our cloth leads with when you hold it up to the light.

The symbols

Four Andean ideas run through everything we make. Each has a page.

• The chakana, the stepped cross on every cap
• Tocapu, pattern as language
• Ayni, reciprocity
• Pachamama, the earth and why we make less

The cloth itself

What it is and how it wears: how it is made, materials, where the pattern comes from.

The cities

Every piece is also named for a town in the Andes. Twenty of them, each with a page, on the cities.
