Ashaninka textil art

At the heart of our project at Ampeji, we hold deep admiration and respect for the artisans who bring our creations to life. One of the pillars of our commitment to sustainability and fair trade is the support of women from various communities who keep alive the art of Asháninka weaving, passing down their ancestral knowledge from generation to generation.

Raquel: A Pillar of Textile Wisdom

Raquel is one of the ten mothers involved in our project. She embodies the essence of Asháninka textile tradition and the wisdom of the women in her SHEBOJA community. Her experience and skill in weaving not only preserve ancient techniques but also enrich our collections with authenticity and cultural depth.

Each piece Raquel and her fellow artisans create is a testament to their dedication and craftsmanship. Through their work, they not only maintain their traditional techniques but also participate in a fair trade system that ensures they receive equitable compensation for their labor.

Our Commitment to Fair Trade

At Ampeji, we believe that fair trade is essential for the sustainable development of indigenous communities. That’s why we work closely with the artisans to ensure that their skills are valued and fairly rewarded. This approach not only fosters an equitable work environment but also strengthens the local economy and promotes equal opportunities.

Sustainability at Every Step

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond fair trade practices. We use natural and renewable materials in our creations and ensure that all production processes respect both the environment and the worldview of our identity. By supporting the artisans and choosing sustainable materials, we contribute to the protection of our resources and our cultural vision.

How You Can Contribute

By choosing our products, you’re not just acquiring a unique piece of Asháninka art but also directly supporting the communities that work with us. Every purchase helps strengthen fair trade and promotes sustainable practices that benefit both artisans and the environment.

At Ampeji, we are proud of our collaboration with Raquel and the group. Their dedication and wisdom are an integral part of our mission and vision. Together, we are building a fairer and more sustainable future for all.
