Textile weaving in Ecuador goes back to Pre-Columbian times, when indigenous men and women of the highlands would use waist looms to produce the most exquisite fabrics for clothing. In an effort to rescue this disappearing legacy, Awana has selected a group of master weavers, based on their experience and creativity. This artisans from the communities of Otavalo and Peguche in the northern province of Imbabura, constitute the backbone of our hand woven programme. Our initiative provides low income families with a self-sustaining economic activity, while producing unique export quality pieces.
