Introducing...the CHALI!

Señoras and Senores, are you tired of carrying that heavy bag over your pained shoulder? Tired of being caught in the rain without an umbrella? Tired of not having anything to wear when doing your washing your last pair of pants?

Well LOOK to further…Your answers have finally been answered…thanks to the CHALI!

The Chali is a multifaceted, brightly colored, finely crafted, piece of cloth that really has it all…

Need to haul manure to the chacras, but don’t have a wheel barrow? No problem! Just Chali-it!

Need to sit on a wet, dirty ground waiting for the next combi to arrive? No problem! Just Chali-it!

Need to carry your 5-year child to the health post? No problem! Just Chali-it!

The Chali is easy to use…Simply, lay your Chali on the ground. Next, place whatever you need to carry in it and then, gather both ends and hoist it up over your back, and simply tie a knot. It’s that easy!

The Chali is a certifiable and trusted all over Peru, just listen to one of our many supporters…

Juana Marina Carajulcra Ruez of San Juan de Lacamaca says “The Chali has made a world of difference in my life. Before I had to make 2 or 3 trips up the mountain a day because I didn’t have enough hands to carry all my potatoes back. But with the Chali, I only need to make that trip once and can be back in time to milk my cows before lunch!”

The Chali has revolutionized blankets everywhere by using the strongest part of the body, the back, and have put all backpacks to shame by a having limitless capacity. There is no knowing how much a person can fit in their Chali.

According to Lindomira Flor Idrogo Garcia of Ahijadero, “I’m able to carry more than twice my weight of firewood on my back using the Chali and the best part is I can even KNIT while I go down the mountain.”

The Chali can be used to carry large loads of anything imaginable from firewood to small children to roof tiles to tanks of gas. It can also be used in cold weather to bundle up or hover under during the long rainy season. It even can be used as nice dining room table cloth, once cleaned after use. The uses are really endless…

So hurry up to your local mercado and haggle yourself a good deal with the Chali. Prices start at 20 soles, and don’t forget to ask for your chela!
