The Qumpi brand is inspired by the rich and ancient Peruvian textile heritage. It takes you on a journey through the ‘Threads of Time’ by honouring the vibrant use of colours and guaranteeing the best quality textiles.
Qumpi is ideally very soft, made from the best materials, such as the naturally superior local cotton (now called Egyptian cotton as it was exported to the Mediterranean after the Spanish invasions). The silkiest wool was also used, from the domesticated alpaca or the rarer wild vicuña. Qumpi is also measured by its many sumptuous colors, all made from plants and even some animals found in the various eco-zones. The highest prestige colors were blue, arduously extracted from indigo leaves, and red from cochineal beetles.
