Story Behind the art:
Latest Update
"After 21 years we have grown in terms of our production and work infrastructure， and therefore expanding our staff， which has allowed more work for more families. We have managed to implement a dyeing laboratory， creating formulas with the advice of Swiss Chemistry， an important laboratory， to obtain uniform colors and be able to easily repeat orders for greater demands. One of the successes in recent years has been being able to sign a weaving service contract with a company that is dedicated to the wholesale export of handmade fabrics.
"One of the biggest challenges was our beginning， when we migrated from the province to the capital due to the terrorism of the 80s. We arrived at the end of South Lima， which did not have basic services. Thank God， today it has become a more central and pleasant place to work and live.
"In terms of my personal life， we have managed to educate all our children， and move our family forward， as well as being able to build a new home in an urbanization. I also recently had the opportunity to tour Europe with my wife， all thanks to hard work. My two children， Robert and Rosario， older and professional， had the opportunity to marry and start a family. Rosario lives in Italy with her husband Andrea and my two grandchildren. On the other hand， my eldest son lives in Lima in his own house with his wife Diana and my 2-year-old grandson. As for my last daughter， Victoria， she is finishing her professional career， and at the moment she is helping us with the management of the business.
"PromPerú gave us the opportunity to participate in the Annual Peru Fashion Fair， 2015. The San Ignacio de Loyola University gave me a recognition of participation for having exposed our successes at work. In addition to that， thanks to the great reception that we had with NOVICA in the 2000s， we had interviews with the newspapers known as EL COMERCIO and La Republica， the television channel 'América Televisión'， and magazines such as 'América y Economía' and ' BusinessWeek'.
"Some of my great moments were the success of my children's careers and their subsequent marriages， seeing them come to fruition and enjoying the love of my grandchildren. As for the profession， I am very happy to continue my work which I began more than 40 years ago， where I saw my grandparents make similar fabrics in different materials and textures. Personally， I would like to share the work and art that I have been doing throughout my life. It has become a passion， not only for me， but for those around me. I feel satisfied and really happy to work in my workshop."
