Meet Awki Alpaca : A Family Tradition of Peruvian Craftsmanship
A Family Tradition in Alpaca
Awki Alpaca is a family-run Peruvian brand led by artisan and entrepreneur Liseth Principe. Working alongside her husband and family in Lima, Peru, Liseth creates handcrafted alpaca garments and accessories that bring traditional textile knowledge into contemporary everyday style.
Her connection to Peruvian craftsmanship began at an early age. Liseth learned textile techniques from her parents, developing the skills and appreciation for handmade work that would later become the foundation of Alpaca Awki.

Craftsmanship Passed Through Generations
Awki Alpaca reflects a family tradition shaped by knowledge, patience, and attention to detail. Each piece is created in a small workshop where the family remains involved in the production process.
The collection includes sweaters, ponchos, hats, scarves, mittens, and coordinated accessories designed to showcase the softness, warmth, and beauty associated with alpaca fiber.
Many designs also incorporate colors, patterns, and symbols inspired by Peru’s Andean heritage. From vibrant ponchos to accessories featuring the Chakana, each piece offers a contemporary way to experience Peru’s textile traditions.
Made by Hand in Peru
Handcrafting gives every Awki Alpaca product its individual character. Small variations in knitting, color, measurements, or finishing may occur and should not be considered defects. They are part of the natural character of artisan-made products.
Because fiber composition can vary between designs, customers should review the material details included in each individual product description before purchasing.
By choosing Awki Alpaca, customers support a Peruvian family business and help create greater visibility for craftsmanship rooted in generations of textile knowledge.
Bringing Peruvian Craftsmanship to the World
Liseth continues to develop new designs while working with Peru Gift Shop to introduce Awki Alpaca to customers in the United States and international markets.
This collaboration connects customers with products that are not only warm and beautiful but also connected to the people, skills, and cultural traditions behind them.
