Our story
A craft learned out of necessity. A business built through discipline. A brand named after the woman who made it possible.
Paulina learned the craft at eighteen with the Sisters of San José, in Andahuaylillas. She learned it out of necessity. What she did have was discipline: since that day, she has never missed a delivery. Her client in the US has worked with her since 2014.
“I've done everything possible, and impossible, to make my own way with this craft.”
In the founder's words
1998
Learns the craft at 18, with the Sisters of San José, in Andahuaylillas.
2001
Formalizes the business with SUNAT, Peru's tax authority. This marks the start of 25 years in the trade.
2014
Peru's Ministry of Production selects her among the country's 10 leading small manufacturers for Peru Moda. That same year, the US client she still works with today places its first order.
2026
The brand formalizes as Awasqa Boni, under Paulina's own name.
Hands that matter.
About ten weavers from the area work in the workshop, most of them mothers. They can bring their children, the same arrangement the nuns gave Paulina in 1998, now passed on to her community. It isn't a certificate. It's the treatment we consider fair.
