Artisan Textiles and Embroideries

"Florentino is an absolute gem. I bought a sweater for myself and for my mom, both of which are gorgeous and great quality for a fair price. When I said I was looking for larger sizes for my dad, he took us over to his family's other location down the street which was stocked with baby alpaca items and those for larger folks. He was attentive and kind and showed us how to care for the items we bought. I wholeheartedly recommend you visit him. He and his family weave all the 100% alpaca items in his shop."

"The shop owner was so honest. He specifically told me the materials of the goods he sold. I bought a blanket yesterday on a tour that was 1/3 more than the baby alpaca blankets that he sold and his blankets were double sided and had a more handmade quality than than the one I purchased. It seems like a good place to buy souvenirs."

"I stumbled upon this small shop and I’m so glad I did. I was drawn in when I spotted the weaving loom. The shop had kids sweaters, which I had not seen of this quality in other shops. The colors and patterns of the alpaca products were also more unique than other shops I’d visited. There were many brightly colored, patterned scarves. I met the family that runs the shop. The father and mother make everything in the shop. Their daughter helped me find great products and helped translate when needed. The father even showed me how the loom worked. Nothing about the experience felt pushy, which allowed me to take my time. I definitely recommend this shop to those seeking quality alpaca products with a delightful shopping experience!"

"El Maestro Artistico! Incredible ponchos, hoodies and other alpaca wear/goods, lovely service and a true artist at the top of his game. Highly recommend you give this place a visit if you're in Cusco"

"Florentino is amazing. Please skip the markets and come here. I cannot recommend this shop and the beyond pleasant gentleman who runs it more. We stumbled upon Florentino after a long day of searching for the perfect poncho. I was looking for a bright colored poncho with a hood and after it looking like another place that had the color in a blanket and not as a poncho he notified me he would custom make it out of the blanket for me and have it ready in three days. An old school professional at the top of his game, he weaves and sews by hand. My poncho is perfect."

"Buen trato del seño y excelente servicio. También me dejó tomarle algunas fotografías."
