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.
