PONCHO LLOMEN
Ayma created this distinctive poncho following an ancient method used by the Andean people. Its color has a unique personality and beauty.
This exclusive piece was hand-dyed with cochineal ink, an insect that grows on cacti in America and was used by the ancient Andeans to dye their textiles. An incomparable timeless jewel.
The poncho measures approximately 140 cm wide and 100 cm long. The extended piece measures 200 cm.
Care instructions
Hand wash only with mild soap and cold water, iron at a very low temperature, and care for it with the same love with which it was made.
Relevant Information
At Ayma, we are proud of the quality of our pieces, which are handwoven on 19th-century looms. This characteristic makes our textiles unique.
We also work with high-quality natural fibers, which are biodegradable and respectful of nature, and also hold international traceability and animal welfare certifications.
Furthermore, we do not use anti-pilling finishes, as these processes incorporate synthetic components into the fibers that are harmful to the environment and to human health.
For all these reasons, our textiles are more delicate than industrial textiles and due to their special characteristics, they are more prone to small snags or pilling. They should be worn with care and love.
