Sustainable Style, Meaningful Impact
OUR STORY
K’ay Pacha was founded in 2023 by my mother and me, two native Peruvians from Cusco with a love for our culture and a shared passion for sustainability. Inspired by the landscapes and traditions, we set out to create something meaningful: a brand that celebrates Peruvian craftsmanship on a global stage while helping protect our heritage and the planet for future generations.
We noticed that Peru’s rich textile traditions weren’t reaching the world in a way that felt part of everyday life and accessible. At the same time, many talented artisans had few opportunities to share their craft beyond local markets. That inspired us to create collections that blend contemporary design with traditional handmade details, all while following sustainable practices.
Every piece is proudly made in Peru, crafted in collaboration with local tailors and artisans, who bring generations of expertise to life through their craft, and using eco-friendly materials like 100% organic cotton and baby alpaca wool.
We are driven by three core values: environmental impact, social inclusion, and cultural preservation.
At K’ay Pacha, we unite Peruvian culture with sustainable fashion.
MISION
Create sustainable fashion that combines modern designs with cultural preservation, collaborates with local artisans, and uses eco-friendly products.
VISION
Our vision is to be a global sustainable clothing brand that offers unique, long-lasting pieces with a minimalist touch of culture while caring for the planet and artisans.
OUR PRINCIPLES
Protecting the Planet
The fashion industry struggles with sustainability issues like toxic chemicals, synthetic fibers, and worker exploitation.
We prioritize fair trade and eco-friendly materials, using GOTS-certified organic cotton and RAS-certified baby alpaca wool.
Our materials support soil health, prohibit harmful chemicals, and ensure ethical practices, creating high-quality, sustainable fashion.

Fair Trade
We work hand-in-hand with talented artisans—many of them women from rural communities around Cusco—who carry forward the ancient art of Inca weaving. Each meter of handwoven pattern can take 4–5 hours to make, often crafted between caring for their families and tending to the land.
By offering flexible hours and fair, reliable pay, we help create more stable livelihoods beyond the unpredictability of local markets. For many, this work means not just income, but recognition and pride in their heritage.
We’re honored to collaborate with incredible artisans. Visit our website to hear their stories and see the impact behind every piece.

Keeping traditions alive
We’re proud to share Peruvian culture through the Inca-inspired patterns featured in our designs, crafted by skilled artisans who carry on these ancient techniques.
Woven into each piece are symbols that date back to the Inca civilization—used to share stories and knowledge in place of a written language. Every motif holds meaning, passed down through generations.
Each product has its own Quechua name and story, connecting you to the roots of Andean heritage.
