 After four years of experience in
exporting handicrafts to Europe, SICAN
is a company that has made it a tradition
to offer products designed and
developed with ancient and unique
Andean techniques while keeping the
highest standards of quality for
discriminating customers.
In the hands
of master artisans
from different
regions of Peru,
traditional handicrafts
such as retablos,
clay nativities,
mirrors, tapestry
and others, take
on new life and
depth, combining
the best traits of
both Andean cultures
and requirements of
current international
markets. SICAN fosters,
supports and advises
these artisan communities,
while offering new
designs, themes and
materials to appeal to
a broader international
audience.
SICAN also offers this expertise
to custom-design pieces that
may meet specific needs like the
nativity scenes from the world.
SICAN prioritizes working
with new or young artisans,
heads of families from the rural
regions of the country that
recently settled down in the
suburban surroundings of Lima.
The company usually provides
the financing for materials and
labor for these workshops,
thus promoting Peruvian culture
as expressed in popular art and
handicrafts, generating income for
the artisan communities. These
communities also learn how to
develop competitive products that
meet the demands of the
international market.
