Meet WUAMAN
How did it all get started?
At WUAMAN, our journey began in June 2019, when Sandra and Edoardo set out to create a brand that honors our Peruvian heritage. Sandra, who comes from a long line of talented artisans, inspired our vision to work with by the rich tradition of alpaca fiber—one of Peru’s most treasured resources. Edoardo, came from a background in sales. From the start, we committed to crafting products that celebrate the artistry and culture of our homeland.
Do you have a story behind your business name? Our company name is our family name. WUAMAN, is a heartfelt tribute—a variation of Sandra's maiden name, connecting us deeply to family and Peruvian identity. Every product we offer reflects the care, culture, and craftsmanship that inspired us to start this journey
What is your favorite part of the maker process? Creating designs and paying attention to the little details. 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 such as hand embroidery, knitting, loom weaving, and crochet.
Where do you draw inspiration to create?
Nature is our biggest inspiration.
What is your favorite product that you have created and why?
My favorite item is our alpaca socks. We are very proud of the feel and the fit of our socks. Our hand embroidered collection is very popular every year, and our handmade stuffies.
What can we expect to see from you at Jackalope? We will bring our alpaca socks, our hand embroidery accessories, and our WUAMAN Kids collection.
Anything special you’d like to share? We are certified fair trade and sustainably grazed.
