Olga Fisch Folklore, Quito

Olga Fisch Folklore is a fine shop that boasts of the very best art from Ecuadorian indigenous artists. The shop has gained popularity over the years, attracting high profile customers such as Bill Clinton, Rosalynn Carter, and Luciana Benetton, among others. The shop's success can be traced back to the founder, a Hungarian artist named Olga Fisch, who moved to Ecuador in 1939, at the onset of WWII.

Olga Fisch's visionary gift was in recognizing quality in a work of art, and it did not take her long to realize the immense potential of Ecuadorian folklore artistry. Over time, she bridged the gap between traditional and folk art, and even created her tapestries and rugs that have become famous worldwide. She was passionate about promoting the rich cultural heritage of Ecuador, which is evident in the quality of products available in her shop.

The shop's collection includes high-quality Ecuadorian rugs, tapestries, hardwood tiles, and jewelry, all made by indigenous artists. The shop is committed to promoting eco-friendliness and encourages artists to use sustainable materials in their creations. In addition, the Quito store has a small museum that provides more information on the history of the brand.
