Lorenza Champi Apasa is the young weaver who wove this long and lovely scarf. Heart Walk Foundation buys textiles from each weaver in each community. We see the art and tradition of weaving as sacred, and celebrate the fact that everyone participates in keeping this knowledge alive, so we buy textiles from the very young weavers to the elderly. This project supports everyone and we are sure that you will love this scarf made by young Lorenza. Your purchase helps her support her family and live with dignity. 73.5 x 6.5 inches plus fringe. 1865 x 17 cm.
