LAS MANUELAS & LOS MANOLOS

In 2015 we invited eleven Spanish fashion designers to collaborate with Las Manuelas. This is how the Los Manolos collective was born.

The result is a striking collection of 11 scarves, an eclectic series of eleven different designs that tells the story of an exciting collaboration between young creatives in Spain and eleven alpaca artisans from the high Andean region of Puno in Peru.

 

Los Manolos is a collective of fashion designers based in Madrid, Spain.
Las Manuelas is a collective of alpaca herders and artisans based in Mazocruz, Perú.
