Andean goods, curated with intention.
Viru Andean House brings textiles, jewelry, and pantry goods from Peru and the Andes to the U.S., each shared with the story of where it comes from and who made it.
Pillar 01
Chosen in person
We're traveling to Peru and Ecuador to meet the people who make what we'll carry. Nothing goes on the site until we know where it comes from.
Pillar 02
Food chosen with care
Crystal chooses our pantry for where it comes from and how it tastes at our own table.
Pillar 03
A bridge, not a souvenir shop
We exist to honor Andean craft and Peruvian cultural heritage — not to flatten it. Every page on this site is built with that responsibility in mind.
Our House
A house for Andean craft, food, and design.
Viru Andean House is a partnership between Jose Castillo and Crystal Wallstrom. We're building relationships with makers in Peru and Ecuador to bring their work to the United States.
Nothing goes on the site without its story.
