QISU started with an idea of beautiful giving and remains so today. When local craftsmen in Ecuador or artists in Argentina proudly make their products, they invest themselves. Upon finding beautiful and cuddly Alpaca blankets for sale in an Ecuadorian open market, our two founders, Fernando and Mark, decided to buy them as holiday presents. The gasps, smiles and hugs left a great feeling that they want to share with others. QISU is a word in the ancient language, Qichwa, that literally means "One who appreciates beauty". It is a word of watching the flower bloom near a flowing river.
