Andrés León


Andrés began his craft of designing and creating his own line of handmade rugs in 1960, in the province of Condesuyos (Arequipa). Later he moved to the city of Arequipa, where he learned to develop new designs and weave the highest quality rugs. Later he decided to start his own company with his wife and sons.

Andres began traveling around Peru and the world to show his creations. In his travels, Andres showed his rugs in various Peruvian cities and at national and international Fairs.

In his 45 years of  designing rugs, Andres has developed and perfected many original techniques and designs that have resulted in exquisite handcrafted works of art: beautiful, durable rugs of the highest quality. His work incorporates many renowned pre-Colombian Peruvian designs typical of the Nazca, Chavín, and other styles.

It is worth mentioning that Andres' work is all handmade using the intricate "knots" technique, and is made of Alpaca and sheep wool, many in their beautiful natural colors.

Andrés and his family are very proud to present his art to Peru and the world.
