This Poncho Sapara Yellow is the perfect gift for your wardrobe. They are handmade in Ecuador by local people from the Andes Mountains. All summer ponchos are selected by Rebecca, the founder, from local communities in the Andes. The ponchos are made of 100% brushed cotton. This makes the summer poncho feel nice and soft and at the same time airy and strong due to the cotton.

Ecuadorian Summer poncho

Ecuador is known for its traditional crafts, including textile production. Much of Ecuador's textile production comes from indigenous communities, who have developed techniques and patterns that have been passed down through generations. By buying a summer poncho made in Ecuador, you not only support the local artisans, but also the indigenous communities that keep these traditions alive.

Wash & dry ponchos

The poncho can be machine washed. Here a few tips:

• Use a hand wash program at 30 degrees
• Set the washing machine to as few revolutions as possible
• Put the poncho in a laundry bag because of the fringes at the bottom
• Do not use fabric softener, as this will clog the fibers

Do not put the poncho in the dryer after washing, but let it hang or lie to dry.
