Made of

A handwoven Andean blanket, cut and sewn by hand — one blanket, one jacket

Made by

Artisan families in Peguche & Miranda — label credits your maker

Made for

October mornings, long flights, and the moment someone asks where you got it

Care

Handle with care. Pattern & texture vary — that's the handmade part

The road to your closet

Three weeks. Two villages. One pair of hands at a time.

01

Woven as a blanket

Peguche · 2,500 m

The Lema family weaves each blanket on the same looms their grandparents worked, in the village this jacket is named for.

02

Cut & sewn by Raquel

Miranda · home studio

One blanket becomes one jacket. Raquel cuts around the pattern by eye — which is why no two are placed alike.

03

Buttons from the Amazon

Tagua nut · hand-carved

Amada carves each button from Tagua — vegetable ivory that grows back. The rainforest's answer to plastic.

04

Signed & shipped

Our warehouse · 3 days

The label inside credits the artisan who made yours. The next batch is with the makers now — the list hears first.

Three weeks, two pairs of hands

What makes it special?
The people behind it.

Each piece starts on a loom in the village it's named for, woven by the Lema family. Then Raquel and team cut and sew it into a jacket at her machine — about three weeks, start to finish.

The place in the name

Peguche is not a mood board. It's a village.

Fifteen minutes from the Otavalo textile market — the oldest in the Andes — Peguche has been a weaving town for longer than anyone's written records. Families work from home workshops beside the Peguche waterfall, and the sound of looms is part of the street noise. That's where your jacket started.

Signed work

Every piece leaves with its maker's name inside.

Fashion has a habit of making the hands disappear. We do the opposite: the label inside credits the artisan who made it — because a signed piece of work is a different kind of object. When you hand it down, the name goes with it.

Flip the collar of any Remu piece and you'll find one.
