Meet the Artist

Jose Vivas

"[My wife] and I are working to recover some of our traditional textile techniques, such as knitting and crochet, and trying to share this art form in its most traditional essence."

"I was born in Huancayo, known for its beautiful landscapes, its history and its arts and crafts. I consider myself an... entrepreneur and my goals are well defined. I'm a hardworking man and fight to overcome the adversities that appear on my path.

"I grew up in a loving family and I've been fortunate to be able to experience these beautiful family relationships.

"The textile arts practiced in my town are incredible. It was great to see the many items for sale in weekly street markets. There was hand-spun yarn, knitted apparel and accessories like scarves, hats and gloves. A person might not even notice any special design because they were everywhere.

"While I was still a boy, we moved to a smaller city where the seasons changed throughout the year. It was always pretty and inviting. Since then, I've traveled through Peru with my mother, Martha, who is an agronomy engineer. We visited many towns and small cities where she taught courses and worked on development projects. On these trips, I learned more about the handcrafted textile work of my country. All the colors and textures, and the traditional designs were fascinating.

"Peru is rich in resources, and my ancestors learned to use each of them to survive. The need for warm clothing led to our legendary pre-Inca weavings that evolved into a highly developed art form. Artisans adapted different trends, playing with colors and shapes, according to their individual regions and cultures.

"When I was 15 years old, I finished secondary school and moved to the capital. Inspired by my experiences while traveling with my mother, I decided to follow my passion. I was very sure about what I wanted to do and I studied textile engineering. I wanted to be able to contribute something to the development of textiles in my country and give people the opportunity to work with them.

"While developing this project, I met Annie, who now is my wife and mother of our daughter born in 2015. Today with my mother and four other artisans, Annie and I are working to recover some of our traditional textile techniques, such as knitting and crochet, using them in current trends, and trying to share this art form in its most traditional essence. We work with artisans from our community, offering fair and equal payment and treatment. "We begin with the raw fibers, developing colors according to our designs, and then we create samples until we achieve our desired model. This is when a design goes into the production stage. From 100 percent Andean alpaca to different alpaca blends, the yarns are chosen to create the fabric's required textures, "feel" and fall.

"We plan to keep working hard, and want our team to grow so that our art can reach the whole world. We're excited to work with Novica and promise we'll do our best to satisfy your needs."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
