Angostura Handwoven Argentine Wool Poncho
Handwoven in Catamarca, Argentina
A handwoven Argentine poncho shaped by natural wool, ancestral loom work and the earthy language of Argollas motifs.
The Angostura poncho is an Argollas sheep wool piece, woven by hand on a traditional horizontal criollo loom using ancestral techniques passed down through generations.
Its design brings together natural earthy tones, from soft beige and warm rose to deeper brown shades, creating a quiet and organic presence. Hand-dyed with natural pigments extracted from carob tree bark, this one-cloth poncho carries the warmth and restraint of Argentine textile tradition.
