La Pollera Colorada translated into English means the colorful skirt, the Pollera is often made with one large piece of fabric, native to Peru. A Pollera is a traditional garment used by Peruvian women during festivities in the rich land of Peru.

At La Pollera Colorada, we specialize in preserving Peruvian culture within the luxury textiles of each Pollera. Made with the richest wool from cattle in the Andean Mountains, bright colors and captivating patterns adorn the handwoven one-piece traditional garb. The history of the Inca empire is preserved in the patterns of La Pollera.

“In the Andean town of La Oroya, women celebrate International Women’s Day in March with a race called Nuna Warmy, or “women’s soul” in Quechua. The racers wear polleras to symbolize a woman’s strength.”
