The Story Behind The Product

Juan and his family live in the rural area of Huancayo, Peru where the majority of the populous is poor. Juan works with his wife, 3 sons, and daughter and also involves his two daughters-in-law and his son-in-law. In peak times, they get help from other family members and neighbors in their village. This allows Worldstock to help support a family of 16 and during busy times more than 5 families in the village. Gourd art is passed on from generation to generation and Juan?s family can account for at least 6 generations of continuing tradition. The gourds were originally used as ornate water vessels for ceremonial offerings to the Incas. The family keeps their ancient Incan culture alive and Juan?s wife still dresses in full traditional attire with long fluffy skirts called ?polleras.? They hope you will enjoy the detail oriented craftsmanship they are so proud of.
