I’m still in complete and utter awe of the stunning masterpieces I encountered in Peru this past summer — elegant and flowing pollera skirts, blouses, and vests sewn in a baroque style, each a reflection of the region’s unique culture. The vibrant colors and intricate embroidery I saw in Chivay were especially mesmerizing, telling stories of tradition, creativity, and a profound connection to nature. These stunning garments are not just clothing; they are works of art that carry the spirit of their origins.
I was deeply inspired by these women, proudly wearing their culture and showcasing the incredible talent of Peruvian artisans as they moved through town.
Their confidence and connection to tradition were truly captivating.
