The high-quality carpets, rugs and blankets sold here are hand-dyed, hand-woven on a loom and fair trade; the owners work with cooperatives and NGOs to help the communities in northwestern Argentina where the textiles are produced. Larger items can be shipped home, or pick up a super-soft llama wool blanket to squeeze into your suitcase.
