Frequently Asked Questions about Hand-Woven Peruvian Belts
How do I choose the right size for my Peruvian belt?
Our black floral belts are approximately 43 inches (110 cm) in total length and 1.5 inches wide, designed to fit most standard denim loops. They feature multiple pre-punched holes that comfortably accommodate waist sizes from 28" to 38". If you plan to wear the belt high on your waist over a dress, we recommend measuring your natural waistline to ensure the best fit.
How should I care for my hand-embroidered wool belt?
Because our belts are handcrafted from 100% high-quality wool, they are naturally durable and dirt-resistant. We recommend spot cleaning only with a damp cloth and a drop of mild or baby detergent. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the delicate hand-embroidery. If the belt becomes wrinkled, you can lightly steam it on a low setting
Is the floral embroidery the same on every belt?
While the black base and general floral theme remain consistent, each belt is entirely unique. Because they are hand-embroidered by 35 different artisan families in the Peruvian highlands, no two patterns are exactly identical. This artistic variation is a hallmark of authentic, fair-trade Peruvian craftsmanship and ensures your belt is a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.

THE TECHNIQUE
On average, six to eight artisans collaborate on the production of these stuffed animals. It takes about five days to craft each of these adorable, hypoallergenic stuffed animals. The process begins with artisans shaping molds and carefully sewing the body. Each animal’s face is separately constructed, giving each piece a very realistic flair. After carefully shaving the alpaca, the hair is washed and sun-dried for one to two days. Depending on the item, the artisans may dye the alpaca hair using vibrant colors. Dying involves additional hand-wash cycles to reach the desired color. Molds are separately made using flexible cardboard. Artisans carefully hand-glue the washed alpaca hair to the mold. Once dried, the hair is thoroughly hand-combed to reach its staple softness. No animal cruelty is involved in the sourcing of the alpaca hair.
