Mesa fabric Q`ero

Size 68cm x 70cm

These mestanas, or mesa fabrics, are more than just textiles – they are living expressions of the ancient wisdom and soul of the Q’ero people, who live in the majestic heights of the Andes, 5000 meters above sea level. Each thread is woven with a love and reverence that embodies the spiritual heritage of generations.

Created by shamans for ceremonial use, the fabrics carry deep symbolism. From the soft wool of the alpaca to the colors extracted from nature’s treasury, each step in the process is a sacred act. Over months of work, not only the threads are woven together, but also prayers, intentions and energy tied to the one who will wear the fabric.

Each mestana is unique and reflects the cosmology of the Andes – a universe where everything is interconnected. These fabrics serve as the altar of the Q’ero shaman, a home for his sacred medicine tools and a portal to the healing power of the universe. They carry the shaman's unique energy medicine and serve as a bridge between man and the cosmos, between earth and heaven.

To hold a mestana is to feel the breath of history, to be touched by an energy that transcends time and space. It is to carry a piece of the soul of the Andes, a promise of balance, love and healing.
