Story Behind the Art:

Jorge Priori began to work in the textile industry at the beginning of the 1990s, prompted by his uncle. His father had a thread factory and Priori began to work with him. By 2001, they had diversified into the creation of alpaca wool garments, accessories and blankets. Priori seeks to preserve a tradition that began during the Inca empire. The Incas gave the alpaca an important place in society and religion; alpaca fiber was so highly treasured it was reserved for royalty. 'Our clothes and blankets are created with the 'combed' technique which uses threads of different length and width, to recreate the type of weave the Incas favored,' explains Priori.
