The classic Cantuta poncho from the Andes focuses on warmth, durability, and distinctive character. It is a fully handmade poncho for women who want to feel the true comfort of natural wool. The longer cut and wide shape make Cantuta drape beautifully over the figure, without restricting movement, and provide exceptional comfort. Thanks to its thickness, it is ideal for the fall and winter seasons – both as an addition to everyday urban outfits and for forest walks on colder days.
Cantuta is a poncho made of Andean sheep wool with a denser texture that provides excellent insulation from cold, wind, and moisture. This type of yarn provides extremely cozy warmth while remaining breathable and maintaining natural thermoregulation. This makes it a great poncho for fall and winter – it can replace a sweater, cardigan, or light jacket.
The Cantuta model draws attention with its careful, traditional finish, which emphasizes the artisanal origins of this unique poncho. The thick, sturdy wool forms an impressive, distinctive structure, and the characteristic tassels made of untwisted wool add an authentic, raw charm typical of Andean products. Every detail, from the shape of the hood to the hand-made cords with woolen balls, creates a harmonious composition that combines tradition with a distinctive form.
The design is complemented by functionality refined with everyday comfort in mind. The thick, natural yarn provides exceptional warmth even on cold and windy days, while the generous hood increases comfort and protection, adding a subtle touch of modernity. The warm Cantuta poncho is the perfect choice for women who value a wardrobe that not only keeps them warm but also emphasizes their individual style, adding a unique character inspired by Andean heritage.

These beautifully crafted ponchos are made with the utmost care and are 100% handmade from natural wool. Each piece is a unique work of craftsmanship, which may vary slightly in size (±1 cm) and shade – the result of the natural variability of wool obtained from Andean animals.
The color of the fiber depends on the environment in which the sheep live: those from the southern regions of the Andes produce lighter, cooler tones, while those from the northern areas produce deeper and more saturated colors. This diversity makes each poncho unique. It is a special accessory that will bring a touch of authentic, traditional Andean art to your wardrobe and give it a noble, natural character.

Cantuta is a species of shrub that grows in the high, harsh regions of the Andes – it can be found at altitudes of between 1,200 and 3,800 meters above sea level. Due to its prevalence and symbolic significance, it is considered the national flower of Peru, and also plays an important role in Bolivian tradition. In Inca times, Cantuta was a sacred flower: it was used as a ceremonial decoration, adorning the bodies of ritual participants and giving the ceremonies a unique, sacred character.
