I discovered Los Andes shop last summer while on a girls weekend at Mt. Hood. While at the shop I purchased 3 poncho blankets for myself, my daughter, and her best friend. We all absolutely love them and use them all the time!!!!! I loved them so much, that I just purchased more for my sister in laws! Unfortunately, the store front is no longer open, but I am so happy to have access to these high quality products on line. I 100% recommend purchasing from this small business. My online experience has been just as good as my in person experience. Great customer service and high quality product!

I have bought 4 blankets from Los Andes Shop at 2 different times: the blue queen blanket, the fuchsia throw, the jewel tone throw, and a thinner small navy blanket that's not (or no longer) listed on their site.
I had the luck of coming across this store at Halloweentown in 2021, if I remember correctly, where my mom and I were drawn by the beautiful colors and designs. My mom is a 40+ year knitter, so is very familiar with fabrics, including their quality. I am clueless on that, but she noted that these are extremely good quality fabric for a great price. I got the blue blanket for me and the beautiful fuchsia throw for my mom. Both are so BEAUTIFUL. 3.5 years later and I can now attest to the quality from experience with this holding up without any sign of aging. I have washed it at least 3 or 4 times (following the instructions not to dry it), and it hasn't affected the colors, appearance, or feel at all. I don't think the pictures on the site do justice for just how beautiful this blanket is - the site photos show beautiful colors already, but in person it's even prettier and all of the colors are richer. It's also extremely warm and soft. I use it on my couch. It's perfect for winter warmth and as a decoration when I'm not using it. Unfortunately for me, as I told Deborah, my 2 kitties think it's the best thing in the world, so they are usually sprawled out on it all day, ensuring I can't use it 🙂 But it's always a testament to something's great quality when my picky kitties love something so much.
In 2025, I reached out to Deborah to ask if she has any small or baby blankets because my kitties are always stealing my blanket but they don't need a full-size blanket. That's when I got the jewel tone throw and smaller blanket. Deborah was extremely accommodating. While the kitties love these too, they continue to steal my blanket as well! But at least now I can steal theirs if they steal mine! Picture of them on the thoroughly shedded on and loved blue and jewel tone blankets attached. I would absolutely buy more of this shop's products in the future.

Another little Welches gem found randomly. Lovely, original blankets, sweaters, etc. & overall good deals. They (and you) are supporting indigenous craftsmanship vs factory. Every piece is unique & one of a kind. Definitely will return!

Beautiful products at fair prices! I’ve been inside the store and also shopped online and had a great experience with both. This is a great family owned business that buys direct from indigenous weavers!

Such a lovely store and owners! We shopped in person when visiting last year and loved our little alpaca so much that we decided to order another online for Christmas this year. We had an issue with the alpaca sizing, but Deborah was quick to correct it and even sent an alpaca greeting card with a personalized message! Great quality products as well!

The blankets are so soft, warm and heavy duty. I bought a bigfoot blanket for myself and loved it so much that I have bought several more for gifts. This shop also provides amazing customer service. I wanted to add an item from their Facebook page to my order that wasn't on the website and they made it happen no problem. Can't wait to go back to visit the store in person.

This was one of the best buying experiences I've had in a while. 1. The blanket I got was beautiful - exactly as pictured, and very soft. 2. The price was unbelievable for the quality of the item. 3. Purchases support indigenous people who make the blankets. 4. Shipping was fast!
What more could I ask for?! I planning on ordering additional items for X-mas presents.

“Mr. Bill ordered a blanket for us, and it is divine! Alpaca and acrylic. Couldn’t be softer or warmer. Just replaced our down comforters with this one lightweight blanket. So cozy, so soft. Can you tell I’m a huge fan of Los Andes Shop?”
