Woven into every thread of the KUNA Milenium collection is a memory that transcends time. Curated in collaboration with the Larco Museum to honor its 100 years of history, this collection draws inspiration from Peru’s pre-Columbian mantles and textiles, paying tribute to cultures such as Paracas, Mochica, Chimú, Chincha, Lambayeque, and Huari—whose masterful hands created symbols that still speak to us today of identity, spirituality, and beauty.
Each piece is more than a design statement — it’s an offering to over 6,000 years of textile history, a silent language woven with respect and admiration. Crafted in alpaca and silk, these garments become a
contemporary canvas for ancient artistry.

The display showcases Peru’s diverse cultures — their place in history, their geographic connection to the coast, and the materials they used in their different weaving techniques.
The collection features six exact replicas of pre-Columbian mantles exhibited at the Larco Museum, along with reinterpretations in alternative colors — where ancestral iconography comes to life once more, reminding us that heritage is not only preserved but projected into the future.
