COYA BRACELET

• Handmade in Latin America.

Made by artisans from the Alpaca Threads Association, made up of Quechua women at 3,500 meters above sea level on the slopes of the Ausangate snow-capped mountain in the Cusco region, who raise their alpacas and sheep, spin the threads, dye them naturally and make our products by hand using ancestral techniques.

We are inspired by the belief of color inherited from generation to generation.
