5 out of 5 starsThis is my second little loom from them. Their instructions are charming and helpful. Shipping was fast enough that I had to wait to leave a review. The loom arrived safely.

5 out of 5 starsI made a special request for my scarf with photos and they absolutely delivered. Communication was great and the scarf arrived exactly when they said it would. I’m so thankful to have a replacement for the scarf I lost. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI got this as a gift for my mom, who loves all things alpaca and llama, and she loves it! It actually arrived a few days early, and in perfect condition. Stitching was tight and it was of excellent quality alpaca fiber.

5 out of 5 starsI saw this Mosqoy pillow (or a similar one) in a shop in Cusco. I wanted to bring it home, but I didn't have room in my suitcase. After I returned to the US, I found the shop on Etsy, and was delighted to be able to order the same pillow cover I had admired, and have it sent to my home. Shipping was quick. The pillow cover is perfect. Thank you!
About MosqoyTextiles
Revitalizing Quechua culture. Empowering Quechua women.
Mosqoy, meaning “dream" in Quechua, is a charitable non-profit organization that started in 2006 with the goal of empowering Indigenous communities in the Peruvian Andes to overcome adversities relating to unsustainable tourism and development. We run two social enterprises and one charitable program to achieve this goal:
1) The Mosqoy Youth Program, which provides promising Quechua youth with opportunities for post-secondary education so that they can compete in their communities' new job sectors and become positive community leaders in the future.
2) Mosqoy Peruvian Textiles, which supports women weavers to ensure that Quechua textiles embedded with generations of cultural knowledge can continue to thrive and adapt.
3) Mosqoy Field School, which provides travellers and students opportunities to cultivate awareness so that consumer relationships in our increasingly connected world can manifest as positive and fair.
