✨ We’re opening this Saturday, November 1st! ✨

Full circle moments are rare. Years ago, we were part of the group Sisa Pacari, whose music once filled this very space with the sounds of the Andes. Now, we return not just with instruments, but with the colours, textures and stories

We open our doors as proud Kichwa mindalaes, traditional traders carrying the strength and spirit of our ancestors ✊🏽💫

To everyone who has supported us through the years, thank you. Your love, your visits, your messages — they’ve carried us here💛

✨ Grand Opening ✨

We’ve moved to a bigger space at St. Laurent Shopping Centre, Ottawa!

Join us on October 1st, beside Entrance Five, to explore our new arrivals and celebrate this next chapter. 💙

As our people back home in Otavalo raise their voices for the protection of life and dignity, we dedicate this opening to their resilience. In solidarity, we’re donating $500 to directly support our community.

As Nina recently said, they are indigenous Kichwas and Mindalae at heart, which means entrepreneurs in their language.

Hello, I would like to introduce myself to our new followers my name is Nina Pacari, which means "fire of dawn" in my native language. I am a member of the Andes Arts family and the person behind this account.

I've had the pleasure of meeting many of you in our store, where you can usually find me helping customers, running with packages to be delivered, or creating gemstone bracelets.

We were members of the music grouped called Sisa Pacari that performed traditional Andean music. We are indigenous Kichwas and Mindalae at heart, which means entrepreneurs in our language.

Our first products were traditional instruments, which became popular after audiences saw the group perform. And we now offer a wide range of high-quality handcrafted items.

My mother and I were dancers for Sisa Pacari. As a result, dancing has always been a passion of mine. If you don't see me in the store, I'm most likely in a dance studio learning a new routine. I'm currently taking flamenco and practising my traditional dance in preparation to perform with Colores Andinos! I can't wait to tell you more about my journey here 💕

I started creating our company logo with Microsoft Office when I was nine years old, and it has evolved and changed with us over the years. Of course, thanks to and contribution, we now have this very nice looking logo.
