MONTE WEAVERS:
In the remote region of El Monte, in northern Argentina, a community of talented artisans, many of whom are women, dedicate themselves to the ancient art of weaving. Their craft is not only a means of sustenance but also a source of pride and cultural preservation.
By creating handmade rugs through sustainable and organic processes, these artisans have gained independence and opportunities, improving their livelihoods and empowering themselves and their families.
At Andina, we deeply admire and support the exceptional work of these artisans, and we are honored to share their unique creations with the world.
Area Rug – Wood & Natural
Discover the artistry of our handcrafted Wood & Natural Area Rug, meticulously woven by skilled artisans from remote areas in the Dry Forest of northeastern Argentina. Rooted in the principles of circular economy and fair trade, each rug embodies a rich tradition of craftsmanship and sustainability.
Using only the finest pure sheep wool, our rugs are imbued with authenticity and charm, taking approximately two months to create from start to finish. Every step of the process, from shearing the wool to weaving the intricate patterns, takes place within the same family or community.
And what truly sets our rugs apart is our unwavering commitment to sustainability, as the entire process involves no energy at all, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint. Even the vibrant colors are derived from local roots, leaves, and natural extracts. Each hue tells a story of the land and its people.
