Details

Dress up a pair of white sneakers or a simple t-shirt with this lightweight cotton skirt. Antonio Cajahuanca designs and crafts it in a laurel green cotton with embroidery, lace trim, side seam pockets and a convenient adjustable drawstring waistband.

Antonio grew up immersed in the textile tradition of his hometown of San Pedro de Cajas, deep in the Andes mountains. As an adult, he decided to combine his skill and knowledge with those from his sisters and start a workshop. Their designs combine natural materials with novel styles and techniques and draw inspiration from the culture and landscapes around them.

Antonio Cajahuanca

"I believe that dreams are the essence of man. Without dreams, I couldn't have achieved what I have."

"I'm Antonio Cajahuanca Barreto. I was born in a beautiful district of the central sierra named San Pedro de Cajas Tarma... Junin, a placed blessed by natural beauty and extraordinary textile art and culture. I strive to be a respectable, attentive, and honest man in all aspects of life. I am loyal, committing myself not only professionally, but in daily life, as well.

"One of the most difficult moments that I lived through was, without a doubt, the loss of my father in 2002. I believe that it's very tough to lose someone so close. Adapting to his absence hasn't been easy, but he left me and my family with life-long lessons. He taught us to always be together, and that we can achieve anything we set our minds to. My dad was the man who inspired everything that we have achieved so far.

"From a young age, I was surrounded by the textile arts. As time went by, we decided to make this something much bigger. My sisters and I combined our knowledge, and, together, we promoted our vision and projects. We decided to work with a style and materials that would differentiate us from the rest of the market. We had a teacher who shared his knowledge with us, but, after that, the ball was in our court. We had to create new ideas based on everything that we learned, and in this way I became a textile artist alongside my sister and friends.

"Everything that we know about apparel and embroidery was learned by investigating and being very curious and observant. We put all our effort into it and achieved the best experience. We fail a lot but, more often that not, we pick ourselves up and follow our objectives and dreams.

"My plans, hopes, and dreams are to achieve excellence in our textile art styles and seek local and international marketing relationships. Because of this, I focus day to day achieving the best results possible. I believe that dreams are the essence of man. Without dreams, I couldn't have achieved what I have. My idea is to grow professionally, not only for myself, but also for my family and team. Together we are a single force.

"What I love the most about this art is the ability to involve myself in the design. But above all, I love working with one of my favorite materials. I really like to see the processes that result in each finished design. My main source of inspiration is Peruvian culture. I am very fortunate to have been born in a land rich in art, natural textures, flora, and fauna. This fills our hearts with inspiration and happiness as we develop our designs.

"As a family dedicated to textile arts, we take care of our community and collaborate with the local government to support taking care of the environment. We incentivize the care of gardens and pathways, teaching our community the importance of preserving our beautiful village so that, together, we can make a difference. I am very thankful to you for allowing me to share my art."

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
