Craft Gallery

Our goal is to preserve the quality and tradition of Peruvian folk art by providing a market in the US. We travel to Peru regularly and personally select each piece ourselves.

Please view our Gallery and if you see something you like or are interested in buying please contact us. We will respond ASAP and would be happy to discuss anything with you. A lot of our items are one of a kind, but if we haven’t got exactly what you see in the slide show, the chances are we will have something similar. Or we can look for something specific for you on our next trip to Peru. We can ship virtually anything in the shop but only within the 50 states.
