The Story Behind the Art

Born in Teheran, Iran, Fariba Heydari came to Arequipa in 1981 with her parents and brothers. Not knowing Spanish and unable to return to Iran for religious reasons, she was hired by a textile company because of her knowledge of English. She soon began to train as a designer. 'I loved creating new designs and models,' she confides. 'It seemed like a dream that a passion of mine could become my life's work. In 2003, I launched my first collection of hand-loomed shawls, working in conjunction with weavers in Cuzco, Puno and Arequipa. The experience was amazing. Their technical skill and their devotion to their art resulted in the strong working relationships we have today. Currently, some 30 families collaborate with me.'
