Bio

"I was born in San Pedro de Cajas, moved to Huancayo when I was 14 years, and entered the wonderful world of textiles just by watching my parents. I was fascinated! I learned from them gradually, and they taught me all the serets of working with alpaca fleece. As time went by, I began to work with them and, eventually, they put me in charge of the family workshop.

 

"I describe my art like I do my feelings — that is, I weave how I feel when I'm designing, and I use colors and different types of weaves to convey how I feel, the happiness in my heart. My motivation comes from my deep love for this art, to what I do. You can see it through the dedication and effort I put into every piece.

 

"The greatest challenge I've had to face is actually ongoing — I'm determined to always aim for the best, whether as a person, a worker or a team leader.

 

"To all of you, all I can say is thank you, and God bless you."

    Very nice men's scarf
    I had been to Arequipa back in 1989, but this is the first time I am luck to have purchased such a finely crafted product from that region of Peru.

    My colleagues continue to attempt to " borrow "
    Oh yes, if I don't pin this to my body, with a brooch, my female colleagues would " borrow " this, permanently........the first time I walked into the clinic, with this wrapped around me, eyes followed me everywhere.....

    Absolutely beautiful, the colors are exquisite. It is finely crafted and the alpaca wool is soft with NO scent (as noted by a previous reviewer). I will order from this artisan again.

    My sister loves this beautiful shawl!
    I bought this shawl for my sisters birthday. She got tears in her eyes when she opened the gift box. I knew she would love it. She has always been a fashionable woman and she knows good quality when she sees it. She even wore the shawl my wedding.I will save Wilmer Vilchez information for future purchases.

    Gorgeous and warm
    This is the finest made wrap I have ever purchased. The photo doesn't do it justice. The neutral colors are rich and lucious. The weave is perfection. This wrap works as a scarf and a wrap. I took it to Africa where morning and night is cold and this wrap was an all purpose item. I used it over my head with my hat on top, I used it to dress up an outfit as a wrap, I used it as a neck warmer and it was brilliant on the airplane as a lap blanket. Truly a stunning Best Buy. Thank you!

    The shawl so nice I bought it twice!
    Purple is my favorite color, and the shade of turquoise blue used in this scarf is my go to back up when I can't find stuff in purple. It is also wonderfully soft and I decided I needed one to hang as decoration and one to wear, or more accurately use for autistic stimming, as it is fantastic to hold!

    This is a great piece, big enough to cover your whole back or thin enough to make it into an elegant/designed scarf. Great material and the real alpaca!
