The story behind Iris Arco

Iris Arco begins with the dreams of Sandra Villareal, its founder and head weaver, who from the age of 7 was interested in the world of weaving and could not stop, because there she found an authentic form of expression and explosion of creativity.

Over the years, Sandra continued to perfect her weaving technique and what began as a little girl's hobby became one of her most important and fulfilling life projects.

Sandra designs, knits and creates the patterns of the models they offer and then these are transferred to the hands of expert knitters when a larger order is placed, all this to guarantee the quality of each one of her knitted sweaters.

What makes Iris Arco's knitted sweaters so special?

Iris Arco's knitted sweaters are not only made with needle and thread, inside they carry soul, heart and deep love from its founder and the great team of Peruvian artisans who are responsible for transforming the main materials into large pieces of fashion.

On the other hand, the hallmark of Iris Arco are its colors, as warm and friendly as the people who make up the brand. The range of shades of their knitted sweaters goes from browns and pearl colors, to the most vibrant and explosive tones such as pink, yellow and orange.

One of the advantages of their sweaters is that you don't have to choose between each of these colors, since you can wear them all together in the same garment, just like a rainbow. Proof of this are their Sincronías, Cosmos and, the favorite for partying, Sierra.

Another feature that makes Iris Arco's knitted sweaters so special is its unique and authentic designs. Each one of them, despite being made with the same alpaca yarn, manages to differentiate itself with its own essence.

You can find open sweaters in neutral colors such as the Pop Corn model or the Volcano model, to be the perfect complement to your outfits during the cold days of autumn.

But if what you are looking for is a companion that attracts attention and keeps you warm during the winter, the Hanami model and the Ocaso model will be your favorites. Made with alpaca threads, but with a long and wide cut to feel comfortable wherever you go.

Which of these models do you think could become your favorite?

The alpaca yarn, the secret of Iris Arco

The alpalca is one of the characteristic animals of the fauna of Peru, for this reason it has also become a benchmark for Iris Arco, because its fur, in addition to being beautiful, can be treated ethically to create natural threads that respect biodiversity and can be used to create 100% sustainable garments.

Alpaca yarn is considered one of the best in the world thanks to its softness, quality and innate sustainability. This material is considered sustainable since there are more than 22 different shades of it, therefore no chemical processes are required to change its color or texture and the amount of energy used in its transformation is reduced.

For this reason, Iris Arco's knitted sweaters are created from this incredible material that not only offers a wide range of colors, but also quality and softness, since the alpaca yarn is highly resistant, which extends the life of the garments and avoid the consumption of fast fashion.

Why not give Iris Arco a try this season change and include it in your wardrobe? It will be like taking a piece of Peru with you.

Always warm and full of joy with Iris Arco's knitted sweaters.
