It is my distinct pleasure to welcome è bella designs to J. Marie Agency! Based in Boulder, Colorado, for close to ten years designer Nicole Linton has been working directly with Peruvian weavers in the High Andes. Together, creating handmade, gorgeously luxe rugs, pillows and accessories, they combine traditional skills with modern design. 

Using only the finest alpaca- or alpaca mixed with merino wool, her products have a irresistible sheen and supple texture. Alpaca fiber, considered more valuable than gold or silver by the Incas, is smoother than silk, stronger than mohair and finer than cashmere.

More information to come on this quickly progressing, modern, sustainable, humanitarian-minded, beautiful company! I can’t say enough about it!

Cheers, è bella.
