Andean textiles are traditional fabrics produced by indigenous communities in the Andes mountain region of South America, particularly in countries like Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. These textiles are known for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and use of natural fibers such as wool and cotton. The techniques used in weaving and dyeing have been passed down through generations, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Andean people. The designs often feature geometric shapes, animals, and symbols that hold cultural significance. Many artisans still use traditional methods, such as backstrap looms, to create these textiles. Today, Andean textiles are not only valued for their beauty but also for their role in preserving indigenous traditions and supporting local economies.
