Our essence




In VAKIANO we contribute to the preservation of this tradition.
how to make a poncho
A ball of yarn goes in and out of hundreds of warp
threads taut as tendons. A hand rescues it before
it drops and sends it though again from the
other side. The same hands firmly press the end
of a weave with a rod. Thus, the action is repeated
thousands of times for months until obtaining
the final result.
LOOM
Argentina is the home of an ancient weaving
tradition. There’s a device in every home the size
of a grand piano. It is made of wood and It’s the
LOOM.
Sometimes they stand in outdoor yards or in
rooms specially designed for them. They are
tamed by the memory of the hands of fathers,
mothers, children and grandmothers
inheritances
The loom is where desires, secrets, joys and
sorrows of all those weavers are stitched together.
It is a place where the earthly and the divine
come together, a dialogue with oneself and with
the stories of today and yesteryear told while the
warp is put together. The woof of the ponchos
ties together life cycles, inheritances, feelings,
memories and thousands of tales which come to
life again every time we wear them.
argentinian technique
Our curators select each poncho.
Vakiano's Argentine ponchos are handcrafted with all natural products and dyes. The Argentine poncho is made according to techniques passed down through generations. These Andean ponchos take between 1 to 4 months to weave due to the complexity of the loom work. They come from the north of Argentina.
