"My name is Raquel Iriarte de Brenner and I was born in the province of Piura. I describe my work as an art form, and I've been dedicated to it along with my husband, Gregor. Our garments carry the name 'Sillpa,' which is an ancient Aymara word that implies 'softness,' 'comfort,' and 'pleasure.'
"What draws me to weaving is the opportunity to work with natural fibers by rescuing ancient Inca weaving techniques. The greatest challenge I have faced is to educate my children in the right path so they may have a professional career. As far as work is concerned, the greatest challenge has been to present our work to people from around the world."
"My name is Gregor Brenner Knoch. I come from an artistic background, therefore the world to me seems more about creativity than technology. Each person is an artist at heart, I think we only need to let our 'artist' out.
"What motivates me to do this kind of work is to see natural fibers transformed into garments. We use as reference natural colors, including those you see in the Andean landscape, the jungle, and the coast.
"We use natural materials including alpaca wool, fine cotton, and silk. We help an Andean community by employing weavers on traditional looms who then help us finish each piece by hand. Sillpa is dedicated to preserving Peru's millenary weaving traditions.
"We would like to give our thanks to everyone. We would like to thank you for supporting our art, which in turn, will benefit many Peruvian families."

My mother loved this shawl. I thought it was very elegant, and nice for a chilly night out. She lives in Florida, where normally it's warm, but at night it can get a bit chilly. What's nice is you can take it off if you get warm and stick it in your handbag. I like the fact that its made from alpaca wool, which is a rarer wool. Also, the color is very pretty and neutral; it pretty much goes with everything.

I’m pleased with the simple beauty of this scarf, the rich color and the obvious quality of the weaving.

I gifted this to a family member who found it too overly "scratchy" to use.

This is my fourth or maybe even fifth alpaca shawl from Raquel and Gregor -- they are all soft and beautiful and get lots of use. You do need to take care of them, as they will snag. But the alpaca fibers are strong and just need to be tucked back in now and then.

I got this scarf for my husband because he loves black scarves (very basic taste) and I love alpacas. He used it this past cold spell, and loved it!

I've worn this poncho with a white blouse and jeans and it is very comfortable. Plus, I've gotten a lot of compliments on the colors. It is very soft to the touch, but I wish it was a little bit longer in the back and front. Excellent workmanship!

This is a spectacular poncho! The colors are amazing, and it's extremely well-crafted, soft, and lightweight! Not really a winter poncho for where I live, Central Ohio— Better suited to a chilly but dry spring or autumn day. I love the postcard, which will also be a keepsake. Also, it arrived well ahead of schedule! For fit purposes: I am 5’3”, US size 10, approximately 30” waist, US 36DD chest, and this poncho fits perfectly!

This is a beautiful shawl -- soft, well made, exquisite weaving. I'm trying to decide whether to keep it. I bought it because a previous review commented it was more olive with iris highlights. The purple is a cool tone and is the dominant color. As such, the color isn't great for me. But, it is a beautiful piece.

This scarf is absolutely beautiful, and soft to the touch. We ordered it just a couple of days before my sister's birthday, and it arrived right on time. I was very impressed with the service. The free gift wrap and the ability to add a note was definitely appreciated and an extra added attraction. Thank you so much. I plan to be a repeat customer!

I'm so pleased with this scarf. The colour is a deep rich red, and exactly matches the coat I bought it to pair with. It's not a heavy scarf, but on the thin side. Yet it's warm and comfortable to wear, even as an accent piece. Happy customer!

Lovely quality, color and feel. Just the right length and size for me. The herringbone pattern is more visible than in the photos which I think makes it even nicer.

Absolutely beautiful! So soft, so colorful. I didn't notice in the picture the nubbiness of the weave where the different colors come together, but it is definitely a lot of texture - very pretty.
