Llayne
Project Manager, Small Business Owner, and Teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Llayne developed Chaska as an organization dedicated to the creation, design and sale of hand-crafted jewelry and handmade Peruvian accessories. “Chaska” means “star” in Quechua, the native language of the Andes. Llayne and her associates work directly with Peruvian artisans who create fabulous items from indigenous materials of the Andean highlands in Peru.
Chaska International was established in Cusco in 2010 and is the united effort of Peruvian artisans near Machu Picchu and in the mountain outskirts of Cusco, the old Inca capital.
