Handwoven in Catamarca, Argentina
A handwoven Argentine poncho shaped by natural wool, ancestral loom work and the quiet rhythm of Listado stripes.
The Chaltén poncho is a Listado sheep wool piece, woven by hand on a traditional horizontal criollo loom using ancestral techniques passed down through generations.
Its striped design brings together a deep dark base with red, muted green-gray and natural light contrast lines, creating a sober and refined presence. Hand-dyed with madder root and walnut husk, this one-cloth poncho carries the lasting character of Argentine textile tradition.
