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

Cornelio Borda's visionary designs come to fruition through a collaborative process spanning both Peru and Italy. The actual production is centered in Peru and involves specialists from both countries, highlighting our steadfast commitment to sustainability through the repurposing of waste materials and our adherence to the principles of sustainable non-fast fashion brands.

In our Alpaca Carpet line, we intentionally refrain from utilizing any animal fur. Instead, we integrate Alpaca wool and, in specific models, Pima Cotton yarn sourced from surplus clothing production in Peru. With this yarn, we carefully handcraft each unique carpet, ensuring precision in the stitching process. The final product undergoes a meticulous hand-brushing to achieve a soft texture and appearance, perfect for our shoes and bags. The initial experimentation with this embroidery technique took place several years ago with artisans from the Marche Region in Italy. Expanding on this success, we have sustained 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.
