"Surrounded by impossibly huge mountains and already at altitude, Cusco is a place to go within and go without. With thinner air and altitude we found our souls lifted. Walking the narrow streets our hands brush past ancient Incan stones expertly placed and still serving as the foundation of the city’s buildings. The history that we’re constantly confronted with fosters a deep respect for Cusco’s roots. Travel can be difficult and often cloud the initial reason one sets out for adventure. For us, Cusco has been a lens that refocused our purpose. Meeting with like minded people to tell the story of the incredible artisans that call this incredible place their home. We must bring the world their story and the fruits of their labor."
-Excerpt from Rock+Pillar's Blog on finding their center in Cusco, Peru.
"Our mission is to tell the story of these incredible artisans and their livelihoods. But that isn’t enough, we want to empower artisans by giving them an opportunity to showcase their products through Rock+Pillar and show the world Peruvian wearable art. We believe that a successful business can have a lasting, positive impact for all parties involved.Our goal is to provide demand for artisanal products of Peru and utilize the proceeds to help establish sustainable practices for artisanal communities. Every product you purchase will directly impact the artist that made it."
