About this piece:
These boots are inspired by the vast pampas of southern Cusco and the traditional attire of Chumbivilcas, a region known for its proud and elegant Qorilazos. The name "Qorilazo" comes from the Quechua word "quri," meaning golden, and the Spanish word "lazo" (lace). These men are legendary for being the bravest horsemen, renowned for their skill in lassoing wild bulls and stallions with such expertise that they capture both admiration and hearts.

Care recommendations:*
• Start by removing dirt with a soft brush, a damp cotton cloth, or a moisturizing wipe. If stains persist, we can use a bit of mild soap with the cloth.
• Likewise, if the boots get wet, fill them with absorbent paper to soak up the moisture. Then, allow them to dry naturally, NEVER PLACING THEM NEAR A HEAT SOURCE. Once dry, moisturize them by applying a generous layer of neutral cream.
• To properly nourish the boots and keep them looking good, apply horse grease or a cream of the same color or neutral. Brush and rub with a cloth. Keep in mind that using a cream may darken the boots slightly, but once absorbed, they will gradually regain some of their original color.
We have built a business model based on the quality of life of our collaborators, starting with fair salary payments. We generates employment cocreating with artists from vulnerable areas of different provinces of the country.
More than 23 popular artists from Ayacucho, Huánuco, Huancayo, Cusco, Pucallpa, Lima and Arequipa are benefited by our teamwork with the craftsmen.
We have an environmental, health and safety policy that establishes group goals for key environmental aspects. To promote the responsible consumption and to educate our community so they will value the environment as we do. We produce 3 collections a year. We reuse all the waste of our raw material, making accessories or dolls.The materials we use come from sustainable sources, as well as the wastes of deadstock materials from the textile and leather industry.
The main objective is to promote the conservation of the Amazon forests, where families of native communities of the Shipibo Conibo and Cacataibo ethnic groups live, and to contribute to improving their quality of life.
We will achieve this by working hand in hand between Polleras de Agustina, native communities and AIDER, in the development and co-creation of "Products with history", which come from a sustainable management of natural resources, through the Forestry Alliance initiative.
