Andean cloth – inspired by traditional mestanas

This colorful Andean cloth is inspired by the traditional mestanas (altar cloths) of the high Andes.
In contrast to hand-woven unique pieces, this shawl was machine-made, which ensures a very uniform structure and precise patterns.
It combines strong colours such as violet, yellow, red, green and blue and expresses the typical symbolism of Andean textiles.

Design & Symbolism

The geometric shapes and diamonds are an expression of harmony, balance and cosmic order in the Andes.
Even though this cloth has been industrially produced, it transports the visual language of the Andes and is ideal as a decorative or spiritual accessory.
