Artist Bio
At WUAMAN, the journey began in June 2019, when Sandra Huaman and Edoardo Quevedo Kcomt set out to create a brand that honors their Peruvian heritage. Sandra, who comes from a long line of talented artisans, inspired the vision to work with the rich tradition of alpaca fiber—one of Peru’s most treasured resources. Edoardo, came from a background in sales. From the start, they committed to crafting products that celebrate the artistry and culture of their homeland.
We are proud to collaborate with Sandra's family and 19 other artisan small businesses in Peru, all dedicated to crafting small-batch, original designs using traditional techniques.
At the heart of WUAMAN lies a deep commitment to fair trade practices and sustainability. They believe in supporting the artisans who bring these beautiful products to life, ensuring they receive fair compensation and work in respectful conditions. Their focus on sustainability reflects their desire to protect the environment and preserve the cultural heritage for generations to come.
The name WUAMAN is a heartfelt tribute—a variation of Sandra's maiden name that connects deeply to family and Peruvian identity. Every product offered reflects the care, culture, and craftsmanship that inspired them to start this journey.
Thank you for being part of their story.
