At Crosspollen, our mission is to cross-pollinate cultures through purposeful creation — weaving together the beauty of faith, heritage, and craftsmanship.

We exist to preserve ancient textile traditions and empower the women who carry them forward. Every cape is handwoven from ethically sourced Peruvian alpaca wool, dyed with natural pigments, and finished with devotion by female artisans in the Andes. 

 

By supporting these women, we help preserve a sacred art form, protect their ancestral wisdom, and provide steady income to their families and communities.

 

10% of all profits are donated to local Christian churches and organizations such as the Sacred Valley Project, which helps indigenous women in Peru access education, safety, and opportunity.

WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN.

Crosspollen was born from the belief that when women support one another, families and communities flourish. Each piece carries a story of shared strength — the hands that weave it, the hearts that wear it, and the faith that binds them together.

 

Our creations are meant to cover, comfort, and inspire — reminding every woman that she is made in the image of God, radiant and worthy of beauty, belonging, and blessing.

Thank you for being here.

OUR VISION

The vision of Crosspollen reaches far beyond fashion.

 

We are building bridges between cultures, generations, and expressions of faith — honoring the ancient while elevating the modern.

 

Our designs invite collaboration between contemporary artists and indigenous artisans, weaving a tapestry of faith, creativity, and global connection.

 

At the heart of our brand is a commitment to create with integrity — to honor people, preserve culture, and glorify God through every detail. Each cape is both a garment and a testimony, a symbol of divine craftsmanship and human care.

HANDMADE BY
PERUVIAN ARTISANS

Every Crosspollen piece is handmade by skilled Peruvian women artisans who have inherited generations of weaving wisdom.

 

Their work reflects centuries of beauty, discipline, and devotion — and your purchase helps sustain their craft and their families.

 

We’re honored to partner with these remarkable women to preserve the ancient patterns and techniques of the Andes, ensuring that these stories continue to be told through texture, color, and thread.

OUR ETHICALLY SOURCED
ALPACA WOOL

We are committed to using only sustainable, cruelty-free, and ethically-sourced alpaca wool.

 

Each cape is woven from 100% Peruvian alpaca — one of the world’s most luxurious fibers — naturally soft, hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, and remarkably durable.

 

Our artisans use natural dyes, such as pigments derived from Peruvian purple potatoes, plants, and minerals, to honor the integrity of the earth and protect the environment.

No Alpacas are harmed in the making of our products.

THE WISDOM OF THE
ANCIENT ONES

The beauty and symbolism found in our textiles reflect the reverence and wisdom of the ancient Andes.

 

Each pattern tells a story — a prayer of protection, a symbol of love, a reminder of connection to Creator and creation.

 

When you wear your Crosspollen Cape, may you feel wrapped in His peace, warmed by the hands that made it, and strengthened by divine purpose.

 

Our prayer is that every piece serves as a covering of light — a reflection of your faith, protection, and beauty in Christ.

ABOUT THE CURATOR
BRANDILYN CLAY

Brandilyn Clay is a creative visionary, designer, and devoted mother whose work bridges art, faith, and culture.

At 19, she studied Fashion Design at Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy, where she first fell in love with the craftsmanship and storytelling woven into handmade textiles. The experience awakened her appreciation for the patience, skill, and spiritual depth behind traditional artistry.

Years later, her curiosity about ancient healing traditions led her to Peru, where she lived and worked among local communities, learning from artisans and immersing herself in the sacred landscapes of the Andes. What began as a search for meaning ultimately became a journey home — a return to Jesus.

Through her travels and studies, Brandilyn witnessed how beauty and faith transcend language, culture, and time. This realization became the heartbeat of Crosspollen — a brand devoted to preserving indigenous artistry while reflecting the light of Christ through everything it creates.

Brandilyn holds a Master’s degree in Integral Psychology, and her creative path has always centered on wholeness, restoration, and the sanctity of human connection. Today, she brings together her love for art, culture, and ministry to design pieces that honor both the hands that make them and the hearts that wear them.

A note from Brandilyn

Dear Friend,

Your interest in Crosspollen brings me such joy. This project was born out of a deep calling — to honor God through beauty, integrity, and the preservation of sacred craft.

When I first traveled to Peru, I was forever changed watching indigenous women weave ancient patterns — crosses, condors, pumas — with such grace and intuition. They didn’t need charts or guides; the designs flowed through them, as though passed directly from the Creator’s hand. It was a moment of reverence that stirred something profound in me — a reminder that creativity is holy, and that every thread can carry prayer.

What began as a passion for art and culture has become a ministry of creation — one that seeks to cover women in love, faith, and beauty. My hope is that when you wear your Crosspollen Cape, you feel the warmth of His protection and the artistry of human hands guided by divine purpose.

Thank you for being here, for supporting the artisans, and for sharing in this vision.

You are loved — and you are covered.

 

With grace,

Brandilyn​​​​​​ Clay
