CRUZ PATAGÓNICA

We make textile products in collaboration with shepherds who raise domestic animals such as sheep, goats and llamas, and peasant communities that safeguard wild camelid species such as guanaco and vicuña.

The design, technology and marketing actions in our project aim at the valorization and maintenance of the cultural traditions of our varied territory. 

                    We start from unique lots regulated by the agreement for the conservation and management of the vicuña, which guarantees that this emblematic species is a resource for the socio-economic development of the high Andean peoples.

This international agreement ensures the protection and use of the fiber in a gradual manner under controls applied by technicians in the management of wildlife fiber regulated by official agencies.

We process our precious fibers with high technology and with the control and meticulous work of our craftsmen.

We could be defined as a slow technological factory.

Our productions are short series with special designs and controlled processes.

We design, produce and commercialize traceable natural fiber textiles for which we make a careful selection of Patagonian vicuña, guanaco, merino and mohair.

In Jujuy, Salta and Tierra del Fuego, in close collaboration with the Andean communities for the purchase of noble materials, we work in the washing, dehairing and combing.

The production of fancy yarns and dyeing is done in our plant in Luján, province of Buenos

The flat fabrics, accessories and knitted sweaters are made partly in Argentina and partly in Italy, in the Tuscany region.

Since the beginning of the 2000’s we have been dedicated to the processing of camelid fibers together with Italian technological companies, specifically in the Tuscany and Biella region, where we have a company in charge of certification, importation and distribution in Italy.

Our blends of vicuña-Patagonian merino and guanaco-Patagonian merino are unique and elaborated by our experts in Patagonian and Andean fibers.
