NOVICA Alpaca wool throw, 'Autumn Tweed'
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Red leaves in a green forest are kissed by the blue sky, their colors combining in a rich autumn tweed. Jorge Priori combines the bright colors in an elegant throw. Woven of a warm alpaca wool blend, the lightweight textile flaunts a jaunty fringe. Artisan Info: Born in Lima on December 11, 1965, Jorge Priori began to work in the textile industry at the beginning of the 1990s, prompted by his uncle. He foresaw Priori's natural inclinations towards textiles as well as his flair for innovation. His father had a thread factory and Priori began to work with him. By 2001, they had diversified into the creation of a diversity of alpaca wool garments, accessories and blankets. At this same place he met Milva, they fell in love and eventually married. Now Priori believes alpaca has changed his life, at a personal and professional level! Priori seeks to preserve through his work a tradition that began centuries ago, during the Inca empire. The Incas gave the alpaca an important place in society and religion; alpaca fiber was so highly treasured it was reserved for Inca royalty. "Our clothes and blankets are created with the 'combed' technique which uses threads of different length and width, with the intention of recreating the type of weave the Incas favored," explains Priori. Priori's alpaca wool products showcase the material's unique attributes. Alpaca wool is produced
