By Peruvian fashion brand Cornelio Borda by Renata García-Menacho.

Cornelio Borda's designs materialize through a collaborative process spanning Peru and Italy, with the production taking place in Peru and involving specialists from both countries. This underscores our steadfast commitment to sustainability, emphasizing the repurposing of waste materials and aligning with the principles upheld by sustainable non-fast fashion brands.

Within our Alpaca Carpet line, we intentionally steer clear of any use of animal fur. Instead, we incorporate Alpaca wool and, in selected models, Pima Cotton yarn sourced from surplus clothing production in Peru. Using this yarn, we meticulously handcraft a distinctive carpet, stitching it with precision. The final product undergoes hand-brushing to achieve a soft texture and appearance for our shoes and bags. The initial trials of this embroidery technique commenced several years ago with artisans from the Marche Region in Italy. Following this successful venture, we expanded this innovative practice by collaborating with skilled female artisans from Peru. Each artisan dedicates one day to embroider two pairs of our handmade Alpaca shoes.
