Women's jobs

Women are one of the most valuable components in a society, here you will find how they are trained in mind, how they dress and what activities they do on a day-to-day basis to be part of Otavaleña society.

Undoubtedly, they are workers, companions in the struggle of the head of the household, since they are always attending to the needs of the home, excellent merchants since they are the ones who normally attend to their businesses and they are the ones who work during the day marketing the product or service provided by her husband.

They say that it is cheaper to feed than to dress an Otavaleña woman, since their shirts embroidered by hand with colored threads amount to prices of $ 600, and their skirts, made of wool, could cost up to $ 4000, their daily or party outfit always It must be accompanied by a braid, silver or gold jewelry and a hat.

To be a woman is to idealize the future of the Kichwa culture, since it is the woman who passes from generation to generation the handicrafts, the commercialization and high quality production of sweaters, blankets and ponchos. We feel fortunate that Ullkana is a brand that shares the responsibility for materials, such as the Fair trade, the quality of the thread and the sustainability with which we would like to maintain this project.
