About Our Artisans

The Heart of Every Product: The Artisans of Otavalo

At Ayllu Collections, the products we offer are a reflection of the passion, talent, and dedication of the artisans from Otavalo, a town in northern Ecuador with a rich textile tradition. Each piece is handmade, following ancestral techniques passed down through generations. Our artisans don’t just create textiles; they weave stories, tradition, and a cultural legacy.

The Creation Process: Art and Tradition in Every Thread

Every product we offer starts as an idea that comes to life in the hands of our artisans. From selecting natural fibers to the dyeing and weaving process, each step is carried out with patience, care, and respect for ancestral art. The colors, patterns, and textures of our products not only reflect the nature of the Andes but also the cultural identity of Ecuador.

Our Artisans’ Philosophy

Our artisans believe in the power of fair trade. For them, each product represents not only their art but also a way to support their families and communities. With every purchase, you’re not just acquiring a unique piece—you’re also contributing to the well-being of artisans and their families.
