Raúl has woven this ruana by hand
Raúl Nuñez is 39 years old and belongs to the third generation of a family of artisan weavers. His roots are linked to Hualhuas, a town in the province of Huancayo in Peru. This district is known as the cradle of weavers and artisans. His way of working has preserved the ancestral know-how of the Inca culture, to which he belongs. It was at the age of 12 when Raúl started to work on the pedal loom, a technique that he now develops with mastery. Proof of this is the exquisite ruanas he has made for Benibeca, a reflection of the possibilities offered by the new craftsmanship connected to contemporary luxury.
Pima, the best cotton in the world.
Pima cotton from Peru is considered the longest, strongest, softest, and whitest cotton staple in the world. The finest and most valued thread on the market is obtained from this fiber, Pima 20/02, an exclusive material due to its scarce production. By using Pima cotton, the garments acquire an exquisite sensoriality that places luxury in a new dimension.
