Pichanal Handwoven Argentine Wool Poncho
Handwoven in Jujuy, Argentina
A handwoven Argentine poncho shaped by natural wool, ancestral loom work and gaucho heritage.
The Pichanal poncho is a Listado sheep wool piece, woven by hand on a traditional horizontal criollo loom using techniques passed down through generations.
Its striped design brings together deep wine red, olive green, camel, cream, black, blue and red tones, obtained through natural dyes made from fruits and plants. Crafted by artisan families in Jujuy Province and curated by Vakiano, it carries the quiet strength of Argentina’s gaucho tradition.
