Unveiling the Heart and Soul of WTS's Natural Dyes Project

At the core of our mission lies a steadfast commitment to uphold ancestral techniques, stimulate sustainable economic growth, and pay homage to the profound cultural and natural treasures of our partner communities.

Harmonizing with Tradition: The Essence of Natural Dyes

Our Natural Dyes project is not just a venture; it’s a harmonious fusion of innovation and heritage. Central to this endeavor is a profound collaboration with the vibrant Racchi community in Cusco and the spirited Infierno community in Madre de Dios. These remarkable communities contribute the very heartbeats of our dyeing process, botanical inputs derived from leaves, roots, fruits, and flowers.

A Canvas of Color: Embracing Nature’s Palette

The Racchi community shares with us the vibrant hues of Chilca, Tara, Ccolle, and Nogal. Meanwhile, the Infierno community generously offers the radiant tones of Achiote, Sanipanga, and Caoba. Through this exchange, nature’s palette enriches our craft, and centuries-old wisdom breathes new life into each fabric we dye.

Empowerment through Collaboration: Nurturing Growth and Skill

Our partnership transcends transactions; it’s a tapestry of empowerment. Guided by the vision of uplifting these communities, we walk alongside them, amplifying their voices and recognizing their invaluable contributions. Witnessing their growth, we’ve established purposeful drying laboratories, a tangible testament to our commitment. These sanctuaries of preservation ensure the quality of botanical inputs during crucial phases of drying, storage, and transport to our facility in Chincha, where the alchemy of dyeing unfolds.

Empowering Lives, Crafting Futures

This symbiotic journey extends beyond craftsmanship. By embracing these communities, we’ve not only doubled the space utilized but also slashed the drying period from an average of 25 to 10 days. We’re weaving more than textiles; we’re weaving stories of empowerment and prosperity.

A Living Legacy: Ancestral Wisdom, Sustainable Vision

Our canvas is the present, but our threads are woven with threads of the past. By integrating these communities into the intricate fabric of our comprehensive textile chain, we pay homage to ancestral techniques. Each woven thread becomes a testament to the boundless possibilities of heritage and sustainability, nurturing a future where traditions are revered and wisdom guides our every step.

Together in Prosperity: Empowering Mothers Alongside Our Supply Chain

Among these stories of empowerment, eight remarkable single mothers stand tall, growing alongside our supply chain. As we nurture them, we nurture our shared dreams, a future where collaboration fosters growth, where traditions stand strong, and where sustainable tapestries extend their threads for generations to come.
