Allpa
Peru
Allpa is named for a Quechua Indian word that means "earth."
Trailblazing best friends Nelly Canepa and Maria del Carmen de la Fuente turned their love for alpaca textiles and fine jewelry into a social enterprise that celebrates a rich Peruvian craft heritage. Allpa’s philosophy: to transform artisans into entrepreneurs. They provide financial, design, and innovation support to grow family workshops across Peru – from the high Andes mountains to the bustling capital of Lima.
