ABOUT THE DESIGNER

ESCUDO

ESCUDO combines their passion for design with Peru’s vast cultural wealth. Their soulful, one of a kind pieces are inspired by ancestral traditions, as well as a commitment to the development of artisanal techniques, a deep admiration of folk art, and the responsibility that comes with the utmost attention to detail. Syncretism and cultural fusion work to forge the old with the new and bring us closer to the essence of our past and project us into the future. Their team extends from the rural mountains of the Huancavelica province of central Peru. The fibers they use are worked and woven by local craftsmen. The designer Kiara is also managing a social and artisan project behind the brand, beyond the NGO Kuyapa, in which they help to vulnerable communities in Peru.
