Apu Salkantay

The Apu Salkantay collection is inspired by the majestic beauty of Lake Humantay and Mount Salkantay, natural gems of Cusco. These landscapes symbolize the connection between people and nature, reminding us of the importance of caring for and preserving our environment. As in many mountainous regions, climate change is affecting the ecosystem. The glaciers in the area, including the snow-capped Salkantay mountain, are retreating, which may affect water supply and biodiversity.

These landscapes, with their deep tones and serene atmosphere, have guided the designers toward an aesthetic that blends comfort and elegance. The pieces achieve a formal look through discreet colors, sophisticated silhouettes, and minimalist surfaces that highlight different textures. Using baby alpaca, Pima cotton, and Merino wool, each garment is crafted by skilled Peruvian artisans, capturing a rich textile tradition. Winter classics, such as sweaters and cardigans, are reinvented in this collection, becoming essentials for a modern wardrobe. This collection is dedicated to honoring and protecting the nature that inspires us.
