Faustino’s journey into weaving began as a young boy in the workshop of master weaver Edwin Sulca in Ayacucho, Peru. Surrounded by rich textile traditions, he quickly developed an extraordinary skill that would later earn him national recognition. His talent and dedication led him to win a prestigious tapestry competition, catapulting him into the global spotlight and attracting international buyers.

His wife, Mercedes, brings her own artistry to their family business, having mastered intricate embroidery and crochet techniques passed down from generations of women in her community. Together, their work blends the vivid colors and designs of the Andean highlands with contemporary artistry, creating pieces that speak to tradition and innovation.
