MAITE means “love” in Basque. Also, “Wrap” in Japanese, like wearing scarf around the neck or covering body.\u00a0 We want to encourage every woman to embrace herself just the way she is.<\/p>\n

In 2013, we started to work with a group in Carabayllo in Lima,\u00a0 which\u00a0Ms. Reiko Lee Kaburaki was helping local women with knitting together for improvement in the living standards.\u00a0 Their work, producing hand knit products with alpaca yarn for Japan, Korea, the U.S and Switzerland, has brought them positive economical impact, and also courage and confidence in a strong machismo-culture society.<\/p>\n

Now we also work with artisans who knit with manual machine at home or workshop and small factory in Peru.<\/p>\n

In 2015, we also started to produce socks in Japan by importing premium alpaca yarn from Peru.\u00a0 It is not easy to produce comfortable socks using the yarn with alpaca in high composition.\u00a0 With the craftsman skill and antique machine, we create unique types of socks, which is now signature product of MAITE.<\/p>\n

Using precious premium alpaca\"DSC_0467s\"

The fiber of baby alpaca is really fine with a diameter of 21.5 to 22.5microns and is similar to the cashmere’s. Though the fiber of baby alpaca \u00a0is really fine, it is strong and \u00a0has great heat retaining property. We uses baby alpaca in most of the products, and even finer yarn called “Royal Alpaca” for some of our scarves and haramaki (tammy warmer).<\/p>\n

We design our items based on basic design with elegant silhouette. We offer you the items that you can use regardless of the changes in fashion and from casual to smart casual style.\u00a0 As\u00a0most of our clothing lines are made with manual knit machine, it is very light weight yet warm enough.<\/p>\n

Hand knitting\u00a0\"7\u7e32-\u7e5d\uff6a\u7e5d\u30fbperu-1580s\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The biggest difference between\u00a0hand knitting and machine knitting is the airy feeling.\u00a0It is said that hand knitting knits the air together with yarn,\u00a0 which can not be achieved by the modern industrial machine as it knits fast with high tension. Also, working closely to producers, we keep high quality and deliver customers’ voices to them to create better products together.<\/p>\n
