My parents are natives of Sicuani, Cusco. They moved from Sicuani to Huancayo when they were just married with the intention of having a sweater knitting business. Thanks to my parents, I find myself in the wonderful world of textiles. There was a crucial moment within the family business when it was difficult to keep it going due to the economic situation of the 80s. However, I had the courage to recover our workshop, and I started selling knitted garments again at the Sunday fair of Huancayo, negotiating with local clients. If there is something that I can rescue from everything I have experienced, it is that I am extremely happy with how far we have come as a family business. I have the dream that my will continue with the business and the workshop will continue to be important throughout the years.
