Symbolism
K’uychi is the Quechua word for “rainbow.” In Andean cosmology the rainbow is a bridge between dimensions: connecting the world above (hanan pacha) with the world below (ukhu pacha), while passing through the realm of human experience. K'uychi is an active force within the cosmos - a dynamic presence that is powerful, living-giving, protective, and beautiful.

Care Instructions
To preserve your piece:
• Dry clean - or hang outside in the sun. Alpaca is a highly intuitive self cleaning fiber that works with the elements to return to it’s original form
• Gently spot clean with a soft, damp cloth for minor spills
• These items were not intended to be stored in closets. We recommend using them as home decor in between use. As with any wool, be aware of moths.
Each cape comes with care instructions and smoothing tools.
