Nestled within the beauty of northern Peru lies the humble town of Catacaos — home to one of the world’s most ancient and honoured weaving communities. For centuries, these expert weavers have devoted themselves to the art of weaving intricate goods from the fine fibres of the prized toquilla palm. Now our master weavers are reimagining the ancient art of toquilla weaving with a new collection of exquisite handwoven products designed for the global marketplace. Toquilla is a rich fusion of modern design and time-honoured tradition. Each piece in the collection is a collaboration of Canadian and Peruvian design, combining today’s aesthetics with the timeless weaving techniques of Catacaos. The artisans of Catacaos aren’t simply making hats or baskets. They’re creating art.
