Jacquard knit jumper women
Women’s jacquard knit jumpers in alpaca wool: art & tradition
Women’s jacquard knit jumpers are more than just clothing — they are a canvas where a millenary story comes to life.
In our collection, jacquard becomes a medium to tell the Andean culture through geometric patterns rich in symbolic meaning.
Jacquard knit jumper women: textile art and ancestral symbols
Many might think of simple decorative motifs, but behind each line and shape lies a story: among the most recurring is the stylised wave, an ancestral symbol that evokes the harmony of nature and the arrival of blooming seasons. Other motifs recall mountains, stars, sacred animals or ancient Inca trails.
From sketch to yarn: the creation of a women’s jacquard knit jumper
Creating a women’s jacquard knit jumper in alpaca wool is a long, fascinating process where creativity meets artisanal expertise.
It all begins with the design of the garment: lines, proportions, and fit. Then comes the choice of the geometric motif — such as the wave — which becomes the decorative heart of the jumper.
The next step is selecting the base colour, the dominant tone on which the pattern will take shape. The most delicate phase is the chromatic match: the background colour must harmonise with the shades chosen for the jacquard motifs. It is here that the jumper acquires its unique personality, the result of a keen eye and refined taste.
From the Andes to today: from Peruvian mantas to women’s jacquard knit jumpers
The geometric patterns that adorn our jacquard knit jumpers have deep roots and still live on in the textile traditions of the Andes.
In Chinchero — an ancient village in Peru’s Sacred Valley — women artisans keep alive the art of manual loom weaving, creating alpaca wool mantas decorated with the same ancestral symbols that inspire our collections.

At LaMamita, we draw inspiration from these textile masterpieces handed down through generations, reinterpreting them in a contemporary key in our jumpers to bring the authentic soul of the Andes into the wardrobe of those who wear them.
The elegance of alpaca wool expressed in jacquard knit jumpers
Our choice to use alpaca wool for our jacquard knit jumpers is no coincidence. This soft, silky fibre enhances the definition of the designs and gives the garment warmth and lightness.
Beyond comfort, alpaca ensures durability and resistance, keeping colours and shapes intact over time.
Jacquard knit jumpers: versatility, style, and artisanal uniqueness
Every LaMamita jacquard knit jumper is the result of meticulous handcrafting. Artisans weave the threads with precision, following complex patterns that require patience and mastery. Each piece carries slight variations in colour and texture, tangible signs of its unrepeatable artisanal nature.
