Grupo Esmeralda
Founded in 1996, Grupo Esmeralda is a socially conscious company dedicated to supporting and promoting the exquisite craftsmanship of Peruvian artisans.
We source our products from a wide network of artisans throughout Peru, ensuring that their unique skills and traditions are preserved and celebrated. Our commitment extends beyond mere business transactions; we actively help Andean communities such as the Poques community by purchasing their handmade textiles and providing them with a platform to sell their products in our store.
Our product line includes 100% baby alpaca textiles, pure alpaca and alpaca blends, and the luxurious 100% vicuña textiles. Each piece is crafted with the highest quality and original design, made entirely by Peruvian artisans. We take pride in offering products that are not only beautiful but also ethically produced and sourced.
Grupo Esmeralda is also deeply involved in supporting small community-led associations in the Urubamba Valley, allowing them to sell their handcrafted goods at our store. This initiative helps sustain these communities and keeps their rich textile traditions alive.
With a physical store located in the historic site of Sacsayhuaman, Cusco, we cater to traveling tourists seeking authentic Peruvian crafts. Our recent expansion into the online market aims to bring the beauty of Peruvian textiles to international customers, allowing us to reach new markets and sell wholesale to large companies in Europe, Mexico, Canada, and the USA among others.
At Grupo Esmeralda, we envision a future where the craftsmanship of Peruvian artisans is recognized and appreciated worldwide. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and authenticity, ensuring that every product we offer is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Peru.
