Welcome to a new chapter of the Sierra Home journal, where today we put our focus in the artists behind our pieces, the heart of our brand. We consider that artisan craft is not just a skill but a heritage passed down through generations in the heart of the Andes. In this journal entry, we navigate into the rich history and trajectory of artisan craftsmanship in the Andes, exploring how our artisans have mastered the intricate techniques and methods required to work with alpaca, making them the backbone of Sierra Home.


The Tapestry of Andean Craftsmanship:

In the historic Andes region, artisan craftsmanship has been a vital part of expressing culture for centuries. Passed down through familial lineages, the artisan craft in the Andes tells a story of resilience, ingenuity, and a profound connection to the land. From the vibrant markets of Peru to the remote workshops perched high in the mountains, each artisan carries forward a tradition that transcends time.

At Sierra Home, we are privileged to collaborate with artisans who embody the essence of Andean craftsmanship. Our artisans are not merely skilled craftsmen; they are storytellers, weaving narratives into every throw and cushion and creating pieces that resonate with the heritage of the Andes. Through dedication and a commitment to preserving their cultural legacy, our artisans have become the heart of Sierra Home.


Learning Techniques Through Generations:

The art of working with alpaca wool has been carefully handed down through generations within our artisan communities. From grandparents to parents, and now to the younger generation, the mastery of techniques has evolved into a familial tapestry. This knowledge transfer ensures that every blanket and cushion carries not just the mark of craftsmanship but the imprints of countless stories, traditions, and a deep connection to the Andean spirit.


Artisan craft stands tall as one of the pillars of our brand. It's not just about creating unique pieces; it's about sustaining a cultural heritage, empowering communities, and fostering a sense of pride and identity. Our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices begins with our artisans, whose expertise infuses each piece with authenticity, uniqueness, and a touch of the extraordinary. It’s much more than home decor.
