The Llacta isotype

Llacta is a Kichwa word for home. It is the place I carry with me, and what I hope you feel when you wear it.

Llacta is the brand I've dreamed of for years, and my heart built into something you can wear. It is my love letter to Ecuador, and my way of sharing my country with the world, with you, and with everyone who appreciates artesanías, the work of skilled hands.

Each sweater is knit by artisans in Ecuador, high in the Andes, from baby alpaca, one of the softest and most resilient fibers there is. I work with artists in Ecuador, and every piece is curated and made with care, love and passion, so a little piece of the land I come from can travel with you.

The soul of Llacta

The Llacta mark gathers symbols of the Andean worldview: the sun, the volcanoes, and a counterform inspired by Cotopaxi, where the moon shapes the silhouette of a human head. It speaks of the bond between nature and who we are. It also shows an artisan in the act of creation, a tribute to the manual traditions of the region I come from. Llacta is more than a brand. It is a bridge between the richness of the past and the creativity of today.

Giving back

Everything in Llacta is made in Ecuador, and part of what I earn goes back to it. Five percent of net sales supports the education of women in rural communities, the people and the place that watched me grow up and taught me to value the work of their hands.

Made by hand, by my people.

Every Llacta piece is knit by tejedoras in Imbabura, in a craft passed from hand to hand. It is the reason these sweaters feel the way they do: warm, soft, and alive.

Ecuador has artisans who can make beautiful, luxurious things. I am here to show it, one stitch at a time.

Read my story

Creations born among volcanoes

Among towering volcanoes and lush highlands, where the earth’s breath merges with the craftsman’s touch, creations are born in the embrace of fire, ash, and time. Here, each woven thread carries the warmth of Ecuador’s ancestral soul. Guided by hands that have known the wisdom of mountains and rivers, these pieces emerge resilient, vibrant, and alive, echoing the enduring spirit of a land and its people. In each work lies a piece of the volcano’s heart and the artisan’s dreams, woven together in timeless beauty.
