Nestled in the northern highlands of Ecuador is a place unlike anywhere else in the world — the Otavalo market. Known as one of the oldest and most vibrant indigenous markets in South America, it’s home to generations of Quechua artisans who have passed down weaving, carving, and jewelry-making traditions for centuries.

At Andean Keepsakes, we don’t just source products here — we build relationships. These aren’t anonymous factory items. Each yoga mat bag, poncho, or tagua nut necklace carries the soul of a family, a legacy of skill, and the warmth of a culture that still thrives today.

We believe in honoring these artisans not only with fair trade practices but by sharing their stories. When you stock our products or gift them to someone, you’re not just offering beauty — you’re offering meaning.
