L'anecdote de 1.618

While talking to us about traditional local materials, Maria introduced us to guanaco wool.
This is an exceptional natural resource, still little exploited for its fibre, but whose origin (a wild animal of the llama family, cousin of the Vicuña) must imperatively be known and protected: this is one of Maydi's projects.

Love for all living creatures is the noblest attribute of man.
