What La Rueca is known for

La Rueca is the first collective artisan brand of Peru's Amazonas region, gathering weavers, potters and carvers who work traditional techniques into sweaters, cabuya-fiber bags, Awajun pottery and 950 silver jewelry. Its Chachapoyas shop anchors a small chain of outlets that also reach Huancas, Cocachimba and other Amazonas villages.
