Hand-Embroidered Belt from Ayacucho – Floral Andean Motifs
This Peruvian belt by Mama Rosa Alpaka combines traditional weaving with colorful embroidery from Ayacucho. The design is inspired by the flowers of the Peruvian Andes: carefully hand-embroidered blossoms and ornaments add vibrant accents to the woven belt. Each piece is handcrafted and therefore has an individual character.
The belts are made in Ayacucho, Peru, by female artisans. According to the supplier, the pieces are the work of artisan Marisela and her team. The base fabric is made on wooden looms and then embroidered with floral motifs. The material is stated as sheep's wool.

Andean Flowers as Inspiration
The Andean region around Ayacucho is known for its diverse textile traditions. The Ino model incorporates flowers and plant forms as decorative motifs. The colorful embroidery gives the belt a distinctive look that effectively complements simple clothing. For example, the belt can accentuate a solid-colored dress at the waist or be worn with a tunic.
Due to the handcrafting, individual details in the embroidery, color gradient, and pattern may vary slightly. Such variations are part of the character of handmade textiles and should not be confused with industrially produced, identical series products.
Handcrafted in Ayacucho
The textile band for the belt is first woven on a wooden loom. The decorative motifs are then embroidered by hand. This combination of two production steps gives the product its special appeal. The design is not merely printed: the floral motif is created through embroidery.
According to the available product information, the work is carried out by Marisela and a team of Peruvian female artisans. The pieces are described as handmade individual items. There is no certification available for this item regarding production conditions or dyes.
Sizes and Measurements
The belt is 4.5 cm wide. The overall length and the position of the belt holes vary depending on the size:
-
XS: 95 cm overall length; holes at approximately 72–87 cm.
-
S: 100 cm overall length; holes at approximately 77–93 cm.
-
M: 110 cm overall length; holes at approximately 86–99 cm.
-
L: 115 cm overall length; holes at approximately 92–107 cm.
According to the supplier, the belts have four holes. The measurements are approximate. To choose the right size, it is best to measure where the belt will be worn—at the waist or hips. The position of the belt holes is just as important as the overall length. Please note that not every combination of pattern and size is available.

Care Instructions
The handwoven and embroidered sheep's wool should be handled with particular care. Gentle hand washing with a suitable wool detergent at a maximum of 30°C is recommended.

Due to the colorful embroidery, it is recommended to carefully check the colorfastness on an inconspicuous area before the first full cleaning. Please follow the care label on the delivered item.
