Talleres Llampu
Soft baby clothes (0 - 3 years old), made from 100 % super fine alpaca mostly woven and embroidered by hand. With over 15 years of experience, we have honed our skills resulting in high quality products. Little sweaters, ski hats, scarves, a variety of caps and blankets to indulge the most demanding baby.
We are a group of weavers from the city of La Paz and El Alto directed by Celia Quinteros. She decided to support us because, like her, we are mothers without many opportunities to get ahead. We are economically poor but very rich in knitting skills, creating a robust and stable group specializing in clothing for babies which are handmade with two needles and a crochet hook.
As a group, we want to improve our families' standard of living by selling our products to people who appreciate our efforts and hand knitting - an art that is being lost to modern machines. We find dignity in our work as it increases our self-esteem. We are now grandmothers and are teaching young girls our tradition of hand knit fine alpaca.
