The heart of Andean Keepsakes lives in the Otavalo market, Plaza de Los Ponchos. Nestled in the highlands of Ecuador, this vibrant gathering place is filled with color, music, and warmth — but its true beauty lies in the hands of the people. The artisans here are not just vendors; they are weavers of tradition, keepers of culture, and storytellers through fabric, thread, and design. 

​

We feel honored to carry their work into the world, and with every product, we strive to protect their legacy and amplify their voices. We are more than just a supplier — we are a bridge between indigenous artisans of Ecuador and the global market. Our products are handcrafted by skilled Quechua families in Otavalo, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. From vibrant tela artesanal yoga mat carriers, purses and bags, Tagua Nut Jewelry to soft alpaca wool blankets, each piece we offer reflects a story of culture, craftsmanship, and care.We were founded on the belief that fair, ethical trade can uplift communities, preserve heritage, and deliver beauty to shelves around the world. What started as a passion project rooted in personal connections has grown into a trusted source for wholesale artisan goods, now serving boutiques, yoga studios, and retailers across the U.S. and beyond.
