Our Values
One of a kind, by design
Each piece in the collection is handmade — by a specific person, using a specific technique, in a specific place. Most are singular objects; some are made in very small batches. None are mass-produced. The variation that comes from handcraft is not a flaw. It’s proof of the work.
Women artisans at the centre
More than 70% of Peru’s registered artisans are women. Every sourcing decision we make reflects that. The weavers, the dyers, the women who hand-spin highland wool before the backstrap loom even enters the picture — they are the reason these pieces exist. Every purchase is a direct contribution to their work and their community.
Materials that are what they say they are
Junco reed is not straw. Toquilla is not raffia. Baby alpaca is a fibre grade, not a marketing term. Leather is leather. We name things accurately because specificity is a form of respect — for the material, for the artisan who worked it, and for the person who is buying.
Things built to last
The opposite of fast fashion is not slow fashion — it is a bag that still looks good in three years, a shawl that becomes softer with each winter, a leather piece that develops a patina rather than a crack. We make things to be used, carried, and kept.
Service that doesn’t end at checkout
Finding the right piece matters. So does knowing what to do with it once you have it. We’re here before the purchase and long after — to help you choose, to answer questions about care, to make the experience of owning an Orange Inca piece as good as the piece itself.
